sumif - if the text has LCI in it

[Jay]

I have long texts in rows of column A and values in Column B. The
sheet has 1000 rows.
I want to add values in column B if the texts has "LCI" in it. I
tried sumif(A1:A1000,"LCI",B1:B1000), but gives value 0.

You are almost close. Try this

=SUMIF(A1:A1000,"*LCI*",B1:B1000)

If this post helps click Yes

Hi,

you may also try this.

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("LCI",A2:A1000,1))*(B2:B1000)))
