    Please try
    =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS($B$2:$B$8,$A$2:$A$8,IFERROR(--(F2&{"","*"}),"*"&F2&"*")))

    or similar to Pepe's

    =SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND(F2,A2:A9))*B2:B9)

    Re: SUMIF with wildcard

    Hi,
    Thank you very much and sorry I couldn't upload the workbook (think is a bug).
    Your solution worked perfectly.
    Still I don't understand why the wildcard is not picking all values in SUMIF function.
    It's either approximate match (Attempt 1) or exact match (Attempt 2).
    Even when i tried to combine those 2 results with SUMIFS it gave null result (Aattempt 3).
    Could you please tell where I was wrong?

    Just be aware that FIND is case sensitive

    Re: SUMIF with wildcard

    Wildcard only applies for Text, 999 in B4 is number.
    attempt 3 is for AND condition, A2:A8 is number 999 and text *999*, it will never be True for both.


    Pepe, Thanks. Dice use number, so I use Find, 2 letters shorter .
