sumproduct text and numbers same column
Assuming the P's were a stand in for any non-number, I would think this
formula would handle the non-numbers...
=COUNTA(A:A)-COUNT(A:A)

If this is what you have in column A, you can use:
=sum(A:A)
to sum the numbers, as it will ignore non-numeric entries.
To count the "P"s, use:
=countif(A:A,"P")

Is it possible to use the sumproduct function in excel 2007, to count
alpha
characters, and sum numbers in the same column. For example:
Column A
10
10
10
P
P
P
result would be a cell that gives 30
another cell that gives the result (P) 3
I currently am using the sumproduct function to do this in 2 different
columns, in exel 2003 version.
