Hi!

Just remove the quotes and the equal sign. "=A3"

=Countif(Times,A3)

When you put quotes around something Excel treats it as
text. In this case Excel was looking for the literal text
string of =A3.

Hello
Im not sure what the problem is that Im having, I thought
I was doing the
function right.

I have a worksheet where I need to look a time value up
from another sheet
(also time values), and Im using the Countif function.

EX:
Sheet1
Col C
Values from 7:00 am to 6:30 am (could be many instances
of each time
inbetween (inclusive).

Sheet2
Col A
Values 7:00 am to 6:30 am (only one instance of each time
inclusively).
Formatted as Time 13:30

Sheet2
Col B
Should be a count of all values from Sheet 1 that match
the value on Sheet 2
Col A. (formatted as Time 13:30)

When I do the Countif, I get a value of 0 (formatted to
number with 0
decimals).

I have
=Countif(Times,"=A3")
But it returns 0. Times is a range name representing
Sheet1 C1:C821 (I
double checked to make sure the range name was pointing
to the proper
range).

Any suggestions?
Thank you
