Sumproduct Wildcard
=SUMPRODUCT(--(C6:C20=38473)*(C6:C20<=38503),--(D6:D20="food"),F6:F20)
Expert, Above is the formula i am using, however it will only return a value when only 'food' is contained in the cell. With this formula I have built a simple check-book for my own personal finance. what can i do to this formula to look for 'food' in cells such as ' Giant Food Store' of 'Food Lion'? Thank you, RB |
One way ..
Try replacing: --(D6:D20="food") with: --ISNUMBER(SEARCH("food",D6:D20) in the formula -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik <atyahoo<dotcom ---- "RB" wrote in message ... =SUMPRODUCT(--(C6:C20=38473)*(C6:C20<=38503),--(D6:D20="food"),F6:F20) Expert, Above is the formula i am using, however it will only return a value when only 'food' is contained in the cell.
