I'm using the following formula to add up the number of times I have text in
a cell. However, whenever I extend the range I get 0.

=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(C28:L28),1,0))

For example, if I extend the range to M28 I get 0.

If you're able to figure out this question, I would like to add .5 to the
total.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Dick
