Default how do I use wild card in SUMPRODUCT formula?

Greetings!

I am using this formula and and it does not seem the syntax is correct:
=SUMPRODUCT(('Consolidated Report'!J5:J8941="NON ASCII; NON PRINTABLE;
NULLS; CARRIAGE CONTROL")*('Consolidated
Report'!A5:A8941<"Open")*('Consolidated Report'!LEFT(E5:E8941,6) = "R12741"))

Any help is appreciated!


Thanks

Just tweak the LEFT part of it:
=SUMPRODUCT(('Consolidated Report'!J5:J8941="NON ASCII; NON PRINTABLE;
NULLS; CARRIAGE CONTROL")*('Consolidated
Report'!A5:A8941<"Open")*(LEFT('Consolidated Report'!E5:E8941,6)="R12741"))

Hi,

First your title - SUMPRODUCT does not support wildcards, but then I don't
see any in your formula.
Everything is OK with respect to the formula as far as I can tell. However,
two points - I would construct the formula in the same sheet as all the
reference to make sure you there isn't a type in the sheet name portion. 2.
If you are trying to ask if the J range = one of the three "NON ASCII; NON
PRINTABLE; NULLS; CARRIAGE CONTROL" items this is not the correct way, if you
are trying to find all entries that have the entire string, it looks good to
me.

Think the LEFT part of the OP's formula just needs correction

Yes,

I read your response too quickly the first time and thought you meant the
Left portion of the formula, as in beginning. Not the Left function. You
are correct.
