Seems this should be simple but I'm stumped. Can't we use the "mid" function with an array within a sumif?
This criteria is testing a range matching the mid text against a static cell with text.
=SUMIF(Apr12!$E$8:$H$35,MID(Apr12!E8:E35,12,6)=Query!$A$5,Apr12!$H$8:$H$35)

Copy of test file is attached.
Try:
=SUMIF(Apr12!$E$8:$E$35,"*"&Query!$A$5&"*",Apr12!$H$8:$H$35)
Where there is a will there are many ways.

Ok smarty pants - that works...so it looks like you don't need to specify the range your searching through in the criteria portion, I thought you did.
Thanks a bunch!
No the asterisks serve as wildcards. Meaning to search for cells that contain your criteria.
