I need to sum column P if values in column A begin with 000.

any ideas?

Try this approach:

=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(A1:A1000,3)="000")*(P1:P1000))

I've assumed 1000 rows, so adjust to suit, but you can't use full
column references prior to XL 2007.

Hope this helps.

=SUMIF(A:A,"0000*",P:P)

So you need to look at the values in column P. Get rid of text entries or
errors.

Note also that the column A condition will return a true condition if you
have text values in that column starting with 000, but not if you have
numbers such as 123 formatted 000000 to look like 000123.

I see you have an answer from Bob that works for you, but you might
like to try this amendment:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A1000,3)="000"),P1:P1000)

Hope this helps.
