sumproduct text and numbers same column
Is it possible to use the sumproduct function in excel 2007, to count alpha
characters, and sum numbers in the same column. For example: Column A 10 10 10 P P P result would be a cell that gives 30 another cell that gives the result (P) 3 I currently am using the sumproduct function to do this in 2 different columns, in exel 2003 version. -- LJW |

If this is what you have in column A, you can use:
=sum(A:A) to sum the numbers, as it will ignore non-numeric entries. To count the "P"s, use: =countif(A:A,"P") Regards, Fred. "Babylynn" wrote in message ...

Assuming the P's were a stand in for any non-number, I would think this
formula would handle the non-numbers... =COUNTA(A:A)-COUNT(A:A) -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "Fred Smith" wrote in message ...
