Ignoring Formulas within cells
do I need to input a range where the -- is in the fromula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A20,3)="det"))

I will try that...but won't it recognize the formula in the cell and think it
is not blank ("")?

Sorry - didn't read that too closely
How about
=COUNTA($A1:A20)-COUNTIF($A1:A20="")

Is there a way to have a function/formula when evalutating a cell, look at
the result of the formula within that cell and not the formula? For instance:
The formulas in range A1:A20 is =IF(LEFT($G4,3)="DET",G4,""). How can I
count/sum the instances in range A1:A20 where =IF(LEFT($G4,3)="DET",G4,"")
is true?
I have tried:
COUNTif(LEFT($A1:A20,3)="DET")
SUMIF(LEFT($A1:A20,3)="DET").
Thanks...
Hi,
Maybe you can try a SUMPRODUCT approach. Something along the lines of:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A20,3)="det"))
