Hi,

can anyone help me with the below:

  • I have delimiter separated strings in column A
  • A value in column B
  • Two separate strings in two reference cells (C1 and D1)
  • I need to sum the values in column b where the string in column A contains first C1 then D1

I've so far tried =SUMIFS($A:$A,$B:$B,"*"&C1&"*"*"*"&D1&"*"

but this doesn't work.

If i was just counting if they both appeared in the string then no problem but D1 must come after C1

In the below i would expect the result to be 2

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

Is this right?

A SUMIFS formula should work too...

In C2 enter, copy across, and down:

=SUMIFS($B$2:$B$4,$A$2:$A$4,"*"&C$1&"*")
