I have a 100 element header row. Each cell represents an account. I want to sum the amounts of each subsequent row if the word "saving" shows up in the header.
For instance, there may be "saving 1" "Savings for Xmas" "Savings 2" in the header row, and I want those to trigger the sumif function.
Basically I want something like sumif(B2:B101,exact(left(B2:B101,6),"saving"),A2:A101)
Of course, that doesn't work. Any ideas?

Hello Andy, you can use wildcards with SUMIF so try something like
=SUMIF($A2:$A101,"saving*",B2:B101)
rows/columns? whats a header row?
