Substitution
When defining a range can you use a reference instead of the actual value?
countif(m6:m429,"ION") Can I replace the 429 with a reference to a cell containing the 429? |

Substitution
=countif(indirect("m6:M" & a1),"ION")
or =countif(m6:indirect("M" & a1),"ION") In the second one, the m6 will adjust if you copy the formula.

Substitution
I'm getting an evaluation error.
cell A42 contains the number 429 countif(Tasks!M6:indirect("M" & A42),"ION") countif(Tasks!M6:indirect("M" & 429), "ION") countif(Tasks!M^:indirect("M429"),"ION") countif(Tasks!$M$6:$M$429,"ION") The next evaluation will result in an error. It looks correct???? "Dave Peterson" wrote: =countif(indirect("m6:M" & a1),"ION") or =countif(m6:indirect("M" & a1),"ION") In the second one, the m6 will adjust if you copy the formula.

or =countif(Tasks!M6:indirect("tasks!M" & A42),"ION") It would have been better to include the Tasks! stuff on your first post <bg.

Substitution
I did some experimentation and found that the 1st solution listed worked, the
second one did not.
