=SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A$18>=B$21)*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("blblbl*",$B$1:$F$1))*$B$2:$F$18)
I've deleted the suggestion because it didn't take into account all conditions. An alternative for Patrick2788 solution could be SUMPRODUCT for those who don't have Office365 or Excel 2021. In the example a date can be entered in cells B21:D21 and the formula dynamically updates the results.
