How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a cell
You can't use the same cell, you would need a help cell

How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a c
Can I get them separated? Like the A's in one row, the H's in another row
and so on? -- DMM "Peo Sjoblom" wrote: You can't use the same cell, you would need a help cell =IF(OR(LEFT(C2)="A",LEFT(C2)="H"),1,"") -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "soconfused" wrote in message ...

How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a c
If you copy down the formula it will parse the first character
I am assuming you want to count A, H and V only if they are the first character A-LA41-09-92256 would be 1, correct? -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "soconfused" wrote in message ...

How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a c
I didn't pose the question right. I should have said I have a column with
these variables and at the bottom, I want to sum all the A's, H's and V's. -- DMM "Toppers" wrote: in D1: =if(OR(left(C1)="A",left(C1)="H"),1,"") HTH "soconfused" wrote: I am trying to look at a cell and put a #1 in it: Example Column C = A-LA41-09-92256 I need a formula here to put a # 1 if the value is A- or H- Thanks in advance.

How do I ask a cell to look only at the first character in a c
Use a help column with a formula and extract the first character
=LEFT(C1) copy down assume you put that in D2:D50 then use =SUM(COUNTIF(C2:C50,{"A","H","V"})) otherwise try =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(C2:C50)={"A","H","V"})) -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "soconfused" wrote in message ...

.... otherwise try =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(C2:C50)={"A","H","V"})) .... Or try =SUM(COUNTIF(C2:C50,{"A","H","V"}&"*")) or a slightly shorter array formula in which it's easier to change the letters sought, =COUNT(FIND(LEFT(A1:A30,1),"AHV")) |

"Harlan Grove" wrote in message
... =COUNT(FIND(LEFT(A1:A30,1),"AHV")) That counts in empty cell in my XL97 because the FIND() returns 1 for empty cells. Is this a bug that was fixed in later versions? -- Regards, Sandy In Perth, the ancient capital of Scotland and the crowning place of kings Replace @mailinator.com with @tiscali.co.uk |

I posed the question wrong. What I really want is a sum of a column with the
first letter of every cell being the variable. Thanks -- DMM "soconfused" wrote: I am trying to look at a cell and put a #1 in it: Example Column C = A-LA41-09-92256 I need a formula here to put a # 1 if the value is A- or H- Thanks in advance. DMM |
