Hi,

Use this. I19:I21 has S, D and M. I10:I16 has the data.

=SUMPRODUCT(1*(ISERROR(MATCH(I10:I16,$I$19:$I$21,0 ))))

I have a work schedule and im trying to show days off. the rows consist
of D
for days, S for swings and M for mids. I am trying to show on another
colum
the number of days that a row does not contain a d,s, or m but will count
everything else as 1 and give me a total.
