I keep getting a #value when I enter
=VALUE(CONCATENATE("=power(countif(c$3:c$",(VALUE( AL3)),",$af3),1)")) C$3 = 3 AL3 = 12 $af3 = 1 I'm using excel2007 beta2, and cannot get the Find & Select Replace the " with NOTHING when I use CONCATENATE("=countif(c$3:c$",(VALUE(AL3)),",$af3) ") I'm tring to have the text turn into this formula =countif(c$3:c$12,$af3) and then give a value. I don't know anything about micro and at best a novice at excel. Please HELP!!! |

Try
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("C$3:C$"&$AL3),$AF3) You do know that POWER(X,1) is always X? best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "trav2016" wrote in message ...

You can't "build" a formula like that. CONCATENATE is a TEXT function. It's
output is TEXT. Maybe this is what you're after: =COUNTIF(INDIRECT("C3:C"&AL3),AF3) Biff "trav2016" wrote in message ...

Yes I know about power but I needed to change the power for other columns.
