searching and summing using string within cell

[Guest]

Is there a way I can search on a string within a cell? I have a column of
personnel functions, column D, that includes, say, junior engineer 1, junior
engineer 2, senior engineer 1....lead engineer 1, etc. I'd like to sum all
the totals within another column, column K, that correlate to all juniors,
all seniors etc....I'm looking for something like =sumif(cell contains
"junior")

Any ideas?

Hello,

What about:

=SUMIF(D110,"*Junior*",K1:K10)
