The criteria that I showed you, with the < in front of the product name:

Product
<Pencil

will exclude one product. Did you try it?

In the criteria range, enter the heading from the product column
In the cell below, use the product name that you want to exclude, e.g.:

Product
<Pencil

I am doing a mock exam and am trying to do a database function which counts
the number of orders but excludes one of the products. But I just cannot
work out how to show this in the criteria. I'm doing my advance ECDL exam in
10 days and really need to know how to do this in case it crops up!


Thank you D
ebra. But what I need to do is to exclude one product from the total and if
I enter the items name in the criteria area this just counts the number of
sales for that product. Have you got any more suggesions as I realise you
know what I am trying to do!
