Default How to tell COUNTIF to not count a few characters

Hi Rafa

Countif is a very efficient function
=COUNTIF(F14:F43,"OFF*")
will deal with both Off and Off Site
=COUNTIF(F14:F43,"Admin")

Deduct these values from your other value to get the net figure.

Im working on a colum that is a medical schedule for Doctor who will be
working that day so that I know how many exam rooms will be needed - right
now Im working with: =COUNTIF(F14:F43,"*") which tells me how many cells
are
not blank. But I would like to have countif not count cells in that same
colum who have values like: OFF, ADMIN, OFF SITE and etc. Am I using the
correct function? PLEASE HELP!
