--- Comment #5 from Tim Richardson <[email protected]> ---
I'm not convinced that it is not a bug.
The problem is not affected by the Regular Expression preference. On or 
Off, it makes no difference.
My comment above about REs is a red herring. My apologies.

The problem is the setting "Search Criteria = and <> must apply to whole 
cells". It affects the way sumif works, and I don't think it should.
By default this setting is on, and in that case a SUMIF formula behaves 
very differently in Excel and LibreOffice: in LibreOffice it doesn't 
match anything.
Turn the setting off, and the wildcard matches the same as Excel.

There is no equivalent setting in Excel.

In summary, I don't think wildcard matching in SUMIF should be affected 
by the preference setting "Search Criteria = and <> must apply to whole 
cells". But it is. If LibreOffice is supposed to work like this, then 
the preference should be better named because it seems obscure to me.
