counting text rows in columns
I'm sure there is a way to do this however I"m fairly new to Excel and need
some help. I have a master list of data on a worksheet and I want to summarize this data on other "master" sheets. Most of the data is in text format. I want to specify a formula that looks at the named range on a different worksheet and counts all records that match "dealer" for instance. The Count function only seems to work with fields that have a numeric value. Can someone point me in the right direction? THanks Pam |

Try something like this:
Assume your named range is MyRange =COUNTIF(MyRange,"dealer") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "pamlong" wrote in message ...
