Start with a number and the rest text


=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(--LEFT(A1:A10))),--(ISERR(--(A1:A10))))


pure numbers

=COUNT(A1:A10)

Hi all,
If I have a row of words and numbers like this:

example
1922-example
anotherexample
3311
athirdexample
332

Is there a way to use the COUNTIF function to count how many of these
words
are numbers, and how many start with numbers? So, in this example, 1 word
starts with a number, and 2 are numbers. Failing that, is there a way to
just count how many words have numbers in them, so there would be 3 in
this
example? Thanks!
