Default Excel Database function

Just create a criteria section with a heading the same as the product
heading and a value below that of <product_to_be_excluded

What do you mean by count them but ignore one? If you count them, just
subtract 1 to ignore 1. Or is there more to it than that? Give some
example
data and results.

I wish to count the number of different products using the database
function,
but need to exclude one of the products. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

Hi Bob

It is a spreadsheet (mock exam) showing a sales report for different
products and the sales for each of them. I need to count the number of
sales
for all the products but excluding one of them (using a database
function).
It is no problem counting all of them - but how do I exclude one of the
items
using a database function. How do I show this in the criteria etc?
