Will this match any text in D1 to D14 that ends with the word "Landline"?

I think you want:
  =SUMIF(D1:D14,".*Landline$",F1:F14)
(note the extra . before the *)

In regular expressions, "." matches any character, while "*" matches any number (including 0) of the previous expression. So "x*" would match any number of "x"s, while ".*" would match any number of any character. LibreOffice's help contains information on other regular expression syntax supported.

You also need to enable the option:
Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > Calculate > Enable regular expressions in formulae
(otherwise SUMIF will look for the literal string ".*Landline$")

Mark.
