Is there a way to apply string manipulation functions to array blocks?

I was trying to do this:

quote:

1 Dog asdf
2 cat asdf
3 Dog fdsa
4 dog bark
1 Dog bark

Sum the left column if the right column starts with "dog" in case insensitive.

I guess you can do this with multi-column retardation and (LOWER, ISERROR, FIND, IF) functions pretty trivially... is there a way to do this in a oneshot?

Incidentally it turns out you can do a case sensitive with SUMIF(B1:B5, "dog*", A1:A5) - where is criteria stuff like this documented?
