Sumif condition
Good morning --
I want to create a sumif using the first character of a field. If the first character is an asterisk, then I want to sum another column in the row: A B 1 ABC 4.25 2 *ABC 5.25 3 DEF 6.25 The correct answer would be 5.25. It seems like I should be building a LEFT function into a SUMIF function, but can't quite get all the way there. TIA for any help. |
Sumif condition
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A10,1)="*"),B1:B10)

Try this:
=SUMIF(A1:A10,"~**",B1:B10) Or, if that's too cryptic: =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A10)="*"),B1:B10) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "pdberger" wrote in message ...
