how to use * wildcard in a sum(if((cond),range)) array formula

Hi,

Can anyone tell me howcome the * wildcard does not work in my sum if array
formula.

I realise that it will work with the standard SUMIF function but I need to
use the array version because I will be adding more conditions to what is
below.

=SUM(IF(('F1'!$C$7:$C$1000="*wedge*"),'F1'!$U$7:$U$1000))

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("wedge",'F1'!$C$7:$C$1000)),'F1'!$U$7:$U$1000))

replace FIND with SEARCH if you want it not case-sensitive.

You might try something like this *array* formula:

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wedge",$C$7:$C$1000)),$U$7:$U$1000))

Since you say that you'll be adding more conditions, why not try a non-array
SumProduct approach:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wedge",$C$7:$C$1000)))*$U$7:$U$1000)

Where adding additional criteria is as easy as adding another argument ...
something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("wedge",$C$7:$C$1000)))*($D$7:$D$1000=condition
2)*($E$7:$E$1000=condition3)*$U$7:$U$1000)
