Ignoring Formulas within cells
Is there a way to have a function/formula when evalutating a cell, look at the result of the formula within that cell and not the formula? For instance: The formulas in range A1:A20 is =IF(LEFT($G4,3)="DET",G4,""). How can I count/sum the instances in range A1:A20 where =IF(LEFT($G4,3)="DET",G4,"") is true? I have tried: COUNTif(LEFT($A1:A20,3)="DET") SUMIF(LEFT($A1:A20,3)="DET"). Thanks... |

But there is more than just DET in the result....it could be DET Jones, DET
Smith, etc....

Sorry - didn't read that too closely
How about =COUNTA($A1:A20)-COUNTIF($A1:A20="") "jimswinder" wrote: Is there a way to have a function/formula when evalutating a cell, look at the result of the formula within that cell and not the formula?

I will try that...but won't it recognize the formula in the cell and think it
is not blank ("")?

It says I have entered too few arguements...

Something along the lines of: =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A20,3)="det")) Regards, Bondi |

do I need to input a range where the -- is in the fromula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A20,3)="det")) "Bondi" wrote: jimswinder wrote: I will try that...but won't it recognize the formula in the cell and think it is not blank ("")?
