Default Need solution for wildcard use in array

I need to find a solution for the following formula to be used in an Excel
worksheet in Excel 2003:

=SUM((('GCP Vendors'!L3:L999)="*Other*")*(('GCP Vendors'!O3:O999)=
"Consultation"))

I need to count the number of times a cell contains the partial string
"Other" in the L column and then sum up how many of these strings are related
to "Consultation" in the O column. I can't figure out how to substitute for
"*Other*" in an array.

Thanks,
GP
