I am looking for a way to use the SUMIF function on text. I have a sheet with
several different words in A column and different values in the B column.
For instance would I like to get SUMIF to return the value in B were the
word BAKER is in column A. But I would also like it to return the value for
the word BAKER 2 and BAKER 3 in the same cell (All vaues starting with BAKER).
Is it possible to make a formula with SUMIF that returns for instance alle
values where the text starts with BAKER?
