How do I count the number of cells that have an "*" as the last character? Try this... =COUNTIF(A1:A6,"*~*") Set your range accordingly. Rick |

Here's another way just in case you forget to define the * as a text
character by preceding it with the ~: =SUMPRODUCT(--(RIGHT(A1:A10)="*")) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "JVANWORTH" wrote in message ... I know it is simple, but I'm blanked out........... How do I count the number of cells that have an "*" as the last character? |
