Countif based of partial cell contents
II need help modifying a formula.
=COUNTIF($D$6:$D$1006,H1) This returns the count for the value in H1 fine, but I need to modify it so it will still return the correct number if there are spaces or characters before or after the value in H1. Example: If H1 contains "BBDC3245---" or a space exists before or after " BBDC3245 " ,I want to still count all the occurrences of that base number in col D6to D1006. I guess I need kind of a wild card search? -- Tony S. |

Try this:
H1 = BBDC3245 (no spaces) =COUNTIF(D6:D1006,"*"&H1&"*") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Tony S." wrote in message ...
