    SUMIF and COUNTIF first word on cell (before first space)

    I'm trying to use =COUNTIF(A:A;A5&" *") on a workbook to count the first word on a cell before space but it's not working.

    Example:

    DP Shirt
    DP Bike
    A123 Car

    I want to get Total=

    2x DP
    1x A123

    Try these two

    =SUMIF(A4:A8,"DP*",B4:B8)

    =COUNTIF(A4:A8,"DP*")

    Try ..

    =SUMIF($A:$A,LEFT($A4,FIND(" ",$A4,1)-1)&"*",$B:$B)

    =COUNTIF($A:$A,LEFT($A4,FIND(" ",$A4,1)-1)&"*")
