Counting number of times certain Text Values appear
I am wanting to use a way to keep a running total of how many times certain
text appears in a range of cells. The cells I want to check are a5:a75 and I want it to count the number of cells that have 'USB Missing' and 'PS2 Missing' I also want another count where it will count cells A5:a75, b:5:c75 to count the number of times that the value in A is not USB Missing, is not PS2 Missing, and the values in B is not 'Missing' and the value in B is not 'Broken'. |

Hi,
Try something like this: =SUMPRODUCT((A5:A75="USB Missing")+(A5:A75="PS2 Missing")) =SUMPRODUCT((A5:A75<"USB Missing")+(A5:A75<"PS2 Missing")+(B5:B75<"Missing")+(B5:B75<"Broken")) HTH Jean-Guy "Chart_Maker_Wonderer" wrote: I am wanting to use a way to keep a running total of how many times certain text appears in a range of cells.

Thank-you. I will try that.
Is there a limit to the amount of arguments that you can have in a formula? The chart I am working on has a few columns and a few arguments per column.

Hi,
I'm not an expert so I'm not sure but I thing the number of arrays you can have in an Sumproduct formula is 30. Regards! Jean-Guy "Chart_Maker_Wonderer" wrote: Thank-you. I will try that.

I think I heard that number somewhere before. Thanks.
