=SUMPRODUCT((A6:A20007=A20012)*(B6:B20007=B20012)* (D6:D20007=D20012)*(F6:F20007))

This is a very nice way to do multiple sumif's to return a sum.

Is there a way to use wild characters. For example one of the columns I am
using is for departments. A certian goup starts with "42##" so in B20012 per
the function above I put 42* in the cell but it did not work. Is there a way
to do this.

Thank you,

Steven
