For example: Left(a2,3) within a sumif function How to do that?
J Jason Morin Feb 23, 2005 #2 Unless you're talking about the criteria portion of SUMIF, you can't. But you can do this: =SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(A2:A100,3)="jas")*B2:B100) Which calculates as: "Sum everything in col. B where the first 3 characters of the values in col. A = "jas". HTH Jason Atlanta, GA
