    Carpusina The SEARCH part in your second formula returns an array of numbers or #VALUE errors. The IF function gets rid of the errors leaving a number when the words are matched in the same row. In your example only row5 has matching words "konzum" in both column A and D. The array that will be returned has three blanks and the number 8. SUM then returns 8.

     

    You probably want to make use of a dynamic array function that will spill the result all at once.

     

    Try this one in E2 and see if that does what you want:

     

    =SUMIF(A2:A5;"*"&D2:D5&"*";B2:B5)
