Hi,

I've trying to develop the search function in formula which it bring innocent result or zero. So I hope you will able to help. So one example of line of code which I've used in SUMPRODUCT, for example.

(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Rottweiller", "Beagle", "Bulldog", "Greyhound", "Poodle"},'Dog Data'!C:C))

So The line above, it work with return number. But I've developing something else which Just in case I might need add dog breed which I do not have to modify the code. So the table below that I'm looking for

Dog Breed

Rottweiller
Beagle
Bulldog
Greyhound
Poodle

I've highlight eg F3:F7 which I've use DogBreed in Name Manager in formula.

So I've add DogBreed in line of code below


(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(DogBreed,'Dog Data'!C:C))

But the problem is it return zero? Have I enter code wrong?

Please may I ask you with help of example of code

Many Thank

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
Try: COUNTIF('Dog Data'!C1:C1000,"*" & DogBreed & "*")

which you can then also wrap in a SUMPRODUCT().

It's clear what the intent is...

If you need partial matching and a total count...

=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(DogBreed,'Dog Data'!$C$2:$C$1000))+0)

If you need just whole item matching and a total count...

=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Dog Data'!$C$2:$C$1000,DogBreed,0))+0)

The latter is a tad faster than a set up with COUNTIF(S).

Hi there,

I've tried the code above as it still invalid like N/A or zero. here my full code for example I need look for number of dog breed as below in bold which set in New York and date range which is working fine.

=SUMPRODUCT(
--('Dog Data'!A:A='New York')*
(ISNUMBER(SEARCH({"Rottweiller", "Beagle", "Bulldog", "Greyhound", "Poodle"},'Dog Data'!E:E)))*
(--('RAW Data'!B:B>=DATE(2017,1,1)))*
(--('RAW Data'!F:F<=DATE(2017,6,30))))

So what I'm looking for the simple search like code below but it return zero, which I dont have to add or remove as the search which I do not have to modify the formula which it will save lot of time.



=SUMPRODUCT(
--('Dog Data'!A:A='New York')*
(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(DogBreed,'Dog Data'!E:E)))*
(--('RAW Data'!B:B>=DATE(2017,1,1)))*
(--('RAW Data'!F:F<=DATE(2017,6,30))))

Maybe if you can modify the formula and show me which if it work.

Many Thanks

Aladdin, Thank you for spotting it. I tried look for edit. So I've make error. the below is correct as Only focus on Dog Data. not RAW Data

=SUMPRODUCT(
--('Dog Data'!A:A='New York')*
(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(DogBreed,'Dog Data'!E:E)))*
(--('Dog Data'!B:B>=DATE(2017,1,1)))*
(--('Dog Data'!F:F<=DATE(2017,6,30))))

Try...
Rich (BB code):
=SUMPRODUCT(
     --('Dog Data'!$A$2:$A$1000="New York"),
     --ISNUMBER(MATCH('Dog Data'!$E$2:$E$1000,Dogbreed,0)),
     --('Dog Data'!$B$2:$B$1000>=DATE(2017,1,1)),
     --('Dog Data'!$F$2:$F$1000<=DATE(2017,6,30)))
