Wildcard characters (?, *, ~) can be used as comparison criteria for functions when searching.
Wildcard character
Match
?
Any single character
*
Any number of characters
~ followed by ?, *, or ~
?, *, or ~ character
Note: The wildcard can only be used in comparison strings that use equals (=); it cannot be used in comparisons that use the other operators (>,<,!=,<=,>=).
Wildcard characters work in all the functions that have a criteria argument, as follows:
AVERAGEIF
AVERAGEIFS
COUNTIF
COUNTIFS
SUMIF
SUMIFS
MATCH
SEARCH
VLOOKUP
HLOOKUP
DAVERAGE
DGET
DMAX
DMIN
DPRODUCT
DSTDEV
DSTDEVP
DSUM
DVAR
DVARP
