subtotaling a range based on cells

[dinotom]

so I have a sheet with hundreds of customers, whose distributor name follows the customer name in the same cell. Using >Find, i can locate each distributors cells. How can I total the columns for certain distributors? You can't use Instr function in the worksheet and Im trying to figure out if i can do it all in code with out using Union to grab the range of all the distributors rows, copying them to a temporary sheet and then totaling each column.

Sumif wont work because I cant test for certain text in the string with a worksheet function. I did it in VBA using an event handler. Thank you
