    hi Joseph. maybe:
    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"eyecare plus";"eye care plus"},A2:B2)))),C2,0)

    this could work too, but might be a bit risky:
    =IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"eye*care plus"},A2:B2)))),C2,0)
    something like "Badeye Inspector Care plus" would be counted

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    thanks a lot Benishriyo.....both the formula worked like magic. however i'll take note of the comment for the second formula. thanks heaps

    thanks wengq, it works well when "EYECARE PLUS" is present, but it is not working when there is space between eye and care
