    Use (LEFT(A4;FIND(" ";A4)-1) to count stock sold

    right now i'm using this formula to refer A4 first word, that word it's actually a code. "R034".

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(A4;FIND(" ";A4)-1);[templateInventory2014.xlsx]Inventory!$A$7:$F$601;3;FALSE);"")


    I want to use similar formula but to count +1 every time R034 it's referred. like on the above formula "(LEFT(A4;FIND(" ";A4)-1)"


    Because on the cell i have also other data: "R034 telecom switch"

    It would be better to understand the issue if you upload a sample workbook with enough sample data in it along with the expected output as well.

    Hi.

    Here is a sample.

    I want K to count +1 when J code is referred on the left first word(code) of the cell.

    I have a similar formula working on a workbook but i can't put it to work on this one.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(LEFT(A4;FIND(" ";A4)-1);[templateInventory2014.xlsx]Inventory!$A$7:$F$601;3;FALSE);"")

    try
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(J4;$A$4:$A$20))))

    Worked very well thank's.


    Now what if i want to refer not just to $A$4:$A$235 but to other worksheet with 12 sheets representing the 12 month of a year?

    Data it's in the same place, codes are on $A$4:$A$235 for all sheet months.

    I tried like this but doesn't work, shows "0"

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(A7;[Sales2014.xlsx]January:December!$A$4:$A$1720))))
