Assign Values to text cells
I have a form i use where different People sign off with there initials
such as I would sign off with "JE" i need a total of the signitures. How can have the total number of cells that contain a signiture be recognized as "1"? If the form were to fill I would have cells B2-B53 taken up. Is there a way to make a cell with text in it equal 1 and a blank cell equal 0? Please help. Thanks |

Josh,
This is a worksheet form? If the signatures are all in the same column, and the other cells in the column are blank, count them with =COUNTA(A2:A100). -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Josh" wrote in message ...

The COUNTA worksheet function will count non blank cells, so if you put a
formula into a cell such as =COUNTA(B2:B53) you should get a total for the number of signatures entered.
