Answer
Hi Setiadi,
If the first line is on row 1, the formula for cell D1 would be:
=SUMIF($A$1:$A$5,"*"&C1&"*",$B$1:$B$5)
The asterisk (*) character is a wildcard and in this formula, it looks for the column C value anywhere in the column A value, and it doesn't care what characters are before or after it.
