Hello All,

I have a simple data set with two columns shown below. The first column contains an amount. The second column has a corresponding value that can either be "D", "R", "S", or any combination of the three letters. I am looking for a formula that can sum up the values where the second column contains a "D". I am trying to avoid CSE.


<style><!--table {mso-displayed-decimal-separator:"\."; mso-displayed-thousand-separator:"\,";}@page {margin:1.0in .75in 1.0in .75in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in;}td {padding-top:1px; padding-right:1px; padding-left:1px; mso-ignore:padding; color:black; font-size:12.0pt; font-weight:400; font-style:normal; text-decoration:none; font-family:Calibri, sans-serif; mso-font-charset:0; mso-number-format:General; text-align:general; vertical-align:bottom; border:none; mso-background-source:auto; mso-pattern:auto; mso-protection:locked visible; white-space:nowrap; mso-rotate:0;}--></style>[TABLE="class: grid, width: 130"]

Based on a regular sum, the total should be 67. I am currently using this formula: <style type="text/css">p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color: #000000}</style>SUMPRODUCT((IFERROR(IF(SEARCH("d",B1:B17)>0,1,0),0)*A1:A17). This provides me a number of 153. If I use CSE, the amount populates to 67. I believe I have to use CSE because of the array in the search. If there is a similar solution without the use of CSE, I would love to know. Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Why does SUMIF not work (see below)?

You're welcome, thought you had some kind of reason for not using SUMIF since you had it in the thread Title. Mark's SUMIF is better than using SUMPRODUCT.
