help with countif function
hi - I want to report a fixed value of '1' if the term 'defect raised'
appears in a range of cells, regardless of frequency. the current formula I have is =COUNTIF(D49:M52,"defect raised") but this reports the frequency instead of the value 1. ie this should be a binary value - 1 if the term is present and 0 if not. no idea how to do this, any help appreciated. |

help with countif function
Try it with an IF, ie as:
=IF(COUNTIF(D49:M52,"defect raised"),1,0) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Gareth Wretham" wrote in message ups.com... hi - I want to report a fixed value of '1' if the term 'defect raised' appears in a range of cells, regardless of frequency. the current formula I have is =COUNTIF(D49:M52,"defect raised") but this reports the frequency instead of the value 1. ie this should be a binary value - 1 if the term is present and 0 if not. no idea how to do this, any help appreciated. |
