how do I add words, holiday =1, holiday am=0.5
 

I am trying to set up a holiday spreadsheet for work and I have got it so it
adds up all the words holiday to say how many days each employee has taken
but I need to to add up the holiday AM and holiday PM as 0.5. Does anyone
know the formula to do this?

how do I add words, holiday =1, holiday am=0.5
 

=SUMPRODUCT(--((EXACT(E1:E20,"hAM"))+(EXACT(E1:E20,"hPM"))))*0.5 +COUNTIF(E1:E20,"h")

GCC,

Try:

=COUNTA(G1:G10)-SUM(--(RIGHT(G1:G10,2)={"AM","PM"}))/2

Array entered with Ctrl + Shift Enter

or

=COUNTA(G1:G10)-SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT(G1:G10,2)={"AM","PM"})/2)

Entered normally
