Hello Everyone,

I'm currently running into a situation where I'm using a SUMIFS formula to sum based on a set of three criteria that exists between two worksheets within a workbook. One of the criteria involves text where on one worksheet the text is 25 characters long and on the other worksheet that has my SUMIFS formula is only 20 characters long. I thought I could wrap that one criteria into a LEFT function that would only look at the first 20 characters in order to perform the match and then sum, but I keep running into an error.

Can anyone help me overcome this error some how?

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Sort by date Sort by votes
How about
Excel Formula: 
=SUMIFS(Test_Data!$M:$M,Test_Data!$B:$B,A2,Test_Data!$E:$E,B2&"*",Test_Data!$R:$R,C2)

Thank you Fluff! I didn't think about using the wildcard search, but this definitely does the job! :)

other idea if you want to test 20 chars:
Excel Formula: 
=SUM(filter(Test_Data!$M:$M,(left(Test_Data!$B:$B,20)=A2)*(Test_Data!$E:$E=B2)*(Test_Data!$R:$R=C2)))
