    Calculating cells that include a specific word but not another word

    Hi All

    I have an excel sheet to calculate incomings and outgoings for a charity, in money entry I add the description and my formula, does an analasis based on a search string, the below formula is what I am using

    =SUMIF(J$9:J$163,"*Raffle 0001*",F$9:F$163) Column J contains the description and column F contains the value

    So my search will find all items that contain the phrase "Raffle 0001"

    in column F I would have "Test Hampton Raffle (Raffle 0001)"

    what I would like to add is another formula that looks for "Raffle 0001" and "Postage" but the original formula has to change to not include "Postage"

    This will give me two figures for each Raffle, basically incoming and Outgoing

    You can use SUMIFS for multiple criteria, this version will not include cells that contain "Postage"

    =SUMIFS(F$9:F$163,J$9:J$163,"*Raffle 0001*",J$9:J$163,"<>*Postage*")

    Note with SUMIFS the sum range comes first
    Audere est facere

    Thanks daddylonglegs

    For some reason the formula shows a date 20/02/1900

    Test Accounts.xlsx

    Sorry, I should have attached the file in the first place

    That's a formatting issue, just format D197 as currency the same as E197 and you should get $51
