SUMIF criterion to match the first 5 characters.
Excel 2000
How do I write a SUMIF function, such that the matching text criterion matches the first five characters of the string in the cells of the range to be evaluated for a match? Something like the following: =SUMIF(LEFT(A5:A1000,5),"Total",C5:C1000) Many thanks, Fred Holmes |

Answer: SUMIF criterion to match the first 5 characters.
Hi Fred,
To match the first five characters of a string in a SUMIF function, you can use the LEFT function within the SUMIF function. Here's how you can write the formula:
In this formula, the LEFT function extracts the first five characters from each cell in the range A5:A1000. The &"*" is used to add a wildcard character to the end of the "Total" string, so that any text that starts with "Total" will be included in the sum. Finally, the range C5:C1000 contains the values that will be summed.

Try this:
=SUMIF(A5:A1000,"Total*",C5:C1000) "Fred Holmes" wrote: Excel 2000 How do I write a SUMIF function, such that the matching text criterion matches the first five characters of the string in the cells of the range to be evaluated for a match?
