COUNTIF?
 

I need to count numbered text, such as, "100A" in a column.

COUNTIF?
 

If you need to count the number of numerical values use =COUNT(), if you need
to count the total number of populated cells (numerical values and text
values) use =COUNTA().

I created a workbook and entered some dummy text values, such as 100A, 110A,
1201
Then I used =COUNTIF(A1:A3,"100A") and it returned 1, which is correct.

Thanks Pats,
The spreadsheet was generated from another program so the values weren't
centered in the cell...I added asterisks "*100A*" to the formula and it
works..
