I am working with a workbook that contains two sheets. I need to count
(all
in the same column) in one case a number/text combo (EXE & 000).

In the next case I need to count only text (from same column as above!).
I
am a novice & thought simply using the "COUNT" would do it but have been
at
it for about an hour & cannot figure it out!!!

Please help!
