using wildcards on text
How can I find a part of a text string in a cell from an external file?
This is what I currently have but it wont let me use wildcards (e.g. "*ages*"). {=COUNT(IF('C:\[fileA.xls]sheetA'!$M$4:$M$1000="ages",'C:\[fileA.xls]sheetA'!$L$4:$L$1000))} |

Hi Scott
Maybe =COUNTIF('C:\[fileA.xls]sheetA'!$M$4:$M$1000,"=ages*") or =SUMIF('C:\[fileA.xls]sheetA'!$M$4:$M$1000,"=ages*" ,'C:\[fileA.xls]sheetA'!$L$4:$L$1000) -- Regards Roger Govier "Scott" wrote in message ...
