Is this type of lookup possible?...
Hi,
I have a column with text in it. Can I look for specific words in a string of text in any cell in that range. The cell will not equal the word because there is a string of text. I need to add up numbers in the next column if the cell contains the specific word. So basically....If any cell in B25:B500 contains "the specified word" then sum the number in column C next to where it is found. Thanks. |

This will sum K1:K5 where J1:J5 contain the string "AB" - not case sensitive
