I column B I have code numbers, 4 and 5 digit. In column E I have
corresponding financial values. I want to sum values which correspond to
sections of code numbers. ie by reading the first two or three digits of
grouped code number.

Perhaps something like this:

3 digit
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:B100,3)="111")*E2:E100)

2 digit
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(B2:B100,2)="11")*E2:E100)

=SUMIF(B2:B100,"111*",E2:E100)

and so on

Thank you for this formula. It works if I modify the array in line with the
codes. The difficulty I have is that in some cases the first three digits of
the 4 and 5 digit codes are the same. Is there a remedy?

Maybe, using MID instead of LEFT in the earlier expression
Post some examples of your data in col B
