Answer: Countif does not equal
To count the number of cells in a column that do not contain a certain text string, follow these steps:
For example, if you want to count the number of cells in column A that do not contain the text string "apple", you would use the formula Formula:
This formula works by using the "<" operator to exclude cells that contain the specified text string, and concatenating the text string with the "&" symbol to include cells that do not contain an exact match of the text string.

.... More responsively, =COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<*apple*") And on the off chance the OP wants case-sensitive matching, the array formula =COUNT(FIND("apple",range)) |

Funny thing with Excel 2003, using =countif(A1:A14,"Apple"), just doesn't seem to count at times,but changing it to "Apples" gets you a count? Is it a bug or is it about Microsoft and Apple?

Apple < Apples
Try =countif(A1:A14,"Apple*") or =countif(A1:A14,"*Apple*") HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP <TJ Singh wrote in message ...
