Countif cells are beings with "*"
Excel 2000. I need to count when cell in column C beings with marker "*".
Column C comprises of cells with numberic, text & cells with number but marked with "*". I have used =Countif(C1:C100,"*") however results show that formula counted even text cells. How do I restrict the count to cells marked with "*" ? I have tried adding a tilde (~) before the character, as what some writeup advise. But it still didn't work. |

Countif cells are beings with "*"
=COUNTIF(C1:C100, "~**) two asterisks
One for the wildcard and one for the asterisk to find. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:11:02 -0700, summer wrote: Excel 2000.
