    Re: sumproduct - sum the same abbreviated titles of medical journals

    Good afternoon Oncology

    Your request isn't that tricky, however, there's a slight complication.

    To extract the publication abbreviation we need a delimiting character, a unique character in the string found in column A that denotes where the publication name ends. In some instances theres a full stop (.), but not all; in some instances there's a space, but spaces actually within the publication name means we can't do this.

    As I say, this isn't a big ask, but your data needs some serious tidying up.

    OK, we can manually clean our data - add full stop (.) where needed.

    How will then be the formula for column A and column B?
