Wow. I have no idea how those functions work, but it worked!
THANK YOU! YOU RULE!

Hello,
I am trying to create a formula that will count the number of cells
with
certain text (EP) in one range that also have an instance of certain
wildcard
text (*migrate*) in another range in the same row.
For example, this is the formula I'm using, but it doesn't seem to
work,
and
I need to know what I should use instead:
=COUNT(IF((N17:N120="EP")*(S17:S120="*migrate*"),0 ))
However, the formula works if it looks like this (wildcard text not
used
for
"migrate"):
=COUNT(IF((N16:N101="EF")*(S16:S101="migrate"),0))
But, the reason I need to use the wildcard text is that sometimes the
text
in S16:S101 will be changed to "migrated" or "replaced & migrated",
which
throws off the count resulting from the formula.
Is there a way to do this with a different function or formula?
Apparently,
the wildcard text thing only seems to work for criteria in simpler
formulas
like this one:
=COUNTIF($O$16:$O$105, "*SWM*")
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours trying to
figure
this one out.
Thank you!
Mike
