I would like it to count if there is either a number only
or a number and a letter but NOT just a letter.
The cell would contain either a 3 digit number
OR a 3 digit number with a letter.

Try this...

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A10)1))

it
to count a range of cells. Thanks.

Is the number *always* a 3 digit number? Is the letter *always* a single
letter? Do you want to count a range of cells or is this just supposed to
check a single cell?

I am putting together a spreadsheet where I need Excel to count both
when a
class is scheduled and when a grade is entered. When the class is
scheduled
the cell will contain a number designanting the term like 101. Later
when
the student recieves a grade the cell would contain the number and the
letter
grade, like 101A. How do I get Excel to count the cell under either
condition. I would like it to count if there is either a number only
or a
number and a letter but NOT just a letter. Thank you!
