Default SUMIF Function

Hey All,

Quick questions...hopefully...The formula works great for everything except
the '<3' and '20', why? It brings back a '0' for both. Am I suppose to use a
different function? I am still pretty new at this so any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advanced

My formula is this...
=SUMIF(ManualData!H:H,A2,ManualData!G:G)

Columns have this in it...
ManualData!H:H
3-5
<3
<3

3-5

6-10

Default SUMIF Function

Try it like this:

=SUMIF(ManualData!H:H,"*"&A2,ManualData!G:G)

Your criteria, <3, was being evaluated as the logical expression: less than
3. Using the wildcard forces the criteria to be evaluated as the literal
TEXT string "<3".
