    How to SUMIF using a wildcard?

    Cell B20 reads "01711 Carton". Cell A20 has the quantity.

    Some cells in Column B will include the words Carton, Bucket, or just the item number.

    For example: 01711 Carton or 01711 Bucket or 01711.

    I've created a column to add up only the cartons with this formula =SUMIF(B20,"*Carton",A20) but it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    There's no reason why that formula doesn't work although you've restricted it to a single row. It would be normal for it to be something like:

    However upload the workbook.
