Default how to sum or count values with "<" symbol in excel?

I need to report values as "<x" such as <0.1 , but want to assign a value of
zero when performing mathematical equations, and want to be able to count
them separately from values that don't have "<". I'm looking for syntext in
the formulas that will help me do this. Please help. Thanks!

While the string may look like an emoticon, you would actually use this to count them:

=COUNTIF(B:B,"*<*")

Or to create an extra column for doing the math:

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("<",B2)),0,B2)

copied down to match your values, then use that for averaging, etc.
