    How to sumif based on x number of characters in a range

    Hi -
    Looking to sumif location = TRENTON. In the example, there could be multiple TRENTON's, like TRENTON, TRENTON YARD. Would like sum all that has TRENTON in the range.

    I've tried LEFT(), to no avail.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Sluggy

    Try:

    =COUNTIF($B$2:$B$6,E2&"*")

    and:

    =SUMIF($B$2:$B$6,E2&"*",$C$2:$C$6)

    Try

    =SUMPRODUCT((C2:C6)*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(E2,B2:B6))))
