I have an worksheet that counts the number of cells containing a certain
letter:
E.g.
Code:
--------------------
=(COUNTIF($B$4:$AO$25,"a"))

I would like to make this case sensitive so I can return the number of
lowercase 'a' and the number of uppercase 'A'
Thanks for any help
The FIND worksheet function is case sensitive, and will return a number if the
string in question is found (otherwise it returns a VALUE error).
So:
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND("A",rng)))
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISNUMBER(FIND("a",rng)))
should give you your count. The only caveat is that you cannot refer to an
entire column in your cell reference.
