    Use sumifs only when first character in cell matches criteria

    I am trying to sum information if the my data meets three criteria: 1) customer is 98012, 2) Currency is USD, 3) Invoice starts with a specific letter. The last part is where I am having my problem. I am using the sum if formula, but I can't seem to isolate the invoice number. I tried: IF(+LEFT(E:E,1)="T",+SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"98012",E:E,">T",B:B,"USD"),"") and that worked, but only because T invoices are the last alpha character. When I change it to O: IF(+LEFT(E:E,1)="O",+SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"98012",E:E,">O",B:B,"USD"),"") it either doesn't work at all or it adds the O and the T invoices and that's not what I want. Plus, there must be something better than this if statement. So I want to be able to determine what is the total for customer 98012 if the currency code is USD and the Invoice starts with a T.

    Can someone help?

    Customer Currency Amount Date Invoice
    98012 USD 72662.5 8-Mar-12 T114555
    98012 USD 32539.52 30-Mar-12 O229580

    Re: Use sumifs only when first character in cell matches criteria

    Rob's solution does not meet the other two required criteria

    Try this...

    =IF(+LEFT(E:E,1)="T",+SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"98012",E:E,"T*",B:B,"USD"),"") for the 'T' invoices &
    =IF(+LEFT(E:E,1)="T",+SUMIFS(C:C,A:A,"98012",E:E,"O*",B:B,"USD"),"") for the 'O' invoices
    Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!

    Since it looks like you have 2003, SUMIFS won't work...try:

    =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT($E$2:$E$16)=LEFT(G3)),--($B$2:$B$16="USD"),$C$2:$C$16)
