Default Count entries in a range that match a certain criteria within datavalidation.

Hi,

On cells D1:D50, each cell has a list of several options to choose.
(Used Data-Validation-Allow-List, Source="Apple, Orange,Grape,Nop-
Apple,Nop-Orange,Nop-Grape")

So on each cell I can choose of the options available in the source
field.
I need to be able to count all the cells in the range D1:D50 that
contain the first three letters "Nop"

I tried Sumproduct function but it either gives zero or a #value error
and countif if using it like this : =COUNTIF(D1:D5, "=Nop-Apple"),
but I want something like this =COUNTIF(D1:D50, LEFT(D1:D50,3)="Nop"))
which of course doesnt work
Can someone help with this?

Thanks
