    SUMIF and contains

    How do you say "contains" within a SUMIF formula?

    For instance, I'm trying to sum all values within a range only if the cell contains a pound sign (#). The # could be located anywhere in the cell. Any way to do that?

    =sumif(A2:A10, contains "#", B2:B10) Something like that.

    Try:

    =sumif(A2:A10, "*#*", B2:B10)
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
