How can I use the * wildcard in an array formula
 

Hi, I am trying to do a sumif in an array formula with 2 conditions.

In the second condition I am using the * wildcard to get cells that contain
the characters Buy.

The formula below entered as an array formula returns 0. I have confirmed
that the array formula is treating the * literally, as a character rather
than a wildcard.

Is there a way around this?

=SUM(IF((G$16:G$1000="Share Trade")*(H$16:H$1000="*Buy*"),I$16:I$1000))

Regards,

Bruce

Try the below

=SUMPRODUCT((G$16:G$1000="Share Trade")*
(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Buy",H$16:H$1000))),I$16:I$1000)

Hi,
You may use this formula. C17 contains Share Trade and D17 contains buy

=SUMPRODUCT(($G$16:$G$1000=C17)*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(D 17,$H$16:$H$1000,1)))*($I$16:$I$1000))

Hope this helps.
