Default Using "*xxx*" in an array formula


Hi everyone,

Quick question. I have this array formula:

{=SUM(IF(Sheet1!A1:A6="Jim",IF(Sheet1!B1:B6="Phone ",1,0),0))}

And I'll quickly show you what the chart looks like:
A B
Jim Breather Phone
Bill Fax
Jim Beezley Phone
John Phone
Bill Car
Jim Looser Car

Now what I want to do is count how many times a person named "Jim" sold
a phone. Its easy to do if all you have entered is "Jim", but I want it
to find the substring "jim" and then count it. If there was only 1
criteria I would use
COUNTIF like this:

=COUNTIF(A1:A6,"*jim*")
But in an array function (for multiple criteria) the little * don't
work. They actually count as part of the text. Any help would be just
great.
