Use...

=SUMIF(A3:A29, "=*Alls*", B3:B29)
or
=SUMIF(A3:A29, "=*" & A52 & "*", B3:B29)
where A52 equals "Alls"

This way, if you have two entries that begin "Alls", they will be added together.

Well, I was hoping to do the work with substrings somehow - like
"Alls" for the "Allstate Insurance" string. However, your simple,
straight-forward answer made me see that using the whole field is all I
need. And it works! Thanks, Jerry.
