I am working with a workbook that contains two sheets. I need to count (all
in the same column) in one case a number/text combo (EXE & 000).

In the next case I need to count only text (from same column as above!). I
am a novice & thought simply using the "COUNT" would do it but have been at
it for about an hour & cannot figure it out!!!

Please help!

Use

=COUNT(A:A)

and
=COUNTA(A:A)

The only text I need to count in the second scenario is "IBE".

=COUNTIF(Range,"IBE")

=COUNTIF(Range,"*IBE*")
