countif wildcards?
I'm using the countif formula to look up certain keywords in a column(=COUNTIF(Sheet1!G1:G1170,"George"). In my column, there will be different entries other than just "George". There may be George Smith, George Jones, George Thompson, etc...etc... Is there a better formula that will return a result for all "george's". Right now, it doesn't return anything because of the various George's. Thanx. -- Ltat42a ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ltat42a's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24735 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=494440 |
