I am using this function.



=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("LOS",$A6))=TRUE,$C6,"")


However I really want to look for "LOS" OR "DTS". Can this be done with the SUMIFS Function? If yes, please show an example.

If you are testing only one cell I would use COUNTIF with a SUMPRODUCT wrapper:



=IF(SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($A6,{"*LOS*","*DTS*"})),$C6,"")


This will effectively run two COUNTIF()s and sum their results. COUNTIF() allows the use of WildCards. IF either is found it will return a value of >0 and the IF will see that as True and return the value in C6.



If, in fact, you want to sum all of C:C where A:A has those two strings then yes a SUMIF will work:



=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(C:C,A:A,{"*LOS*","*DTS*"}))


Like the COUNTIF() this will do two SUMIF()s and return the sum of both. One will look for all the values in A that have LOS and the other DTS and return the sum of the matches.



If the cell has both LOS and DTS the value in C will be added twice.
