Making a letter have a value
Hi, I need to make a letter have a value, so I can then use auto sum to then
add up. I need the letter H to have the same valve as one, so I can use this on an attendance sheet, so when some enters H, it will then be counted as one. I can then see how many days someone has had off. Thanks Dave |

Making a letter have a value
With attendance codes for one person in a 12x31 cell range (B2:AF13)
This formula counts the number of cells containing only "H": =COUNTIF(B2:AF13,"H") Not sure if this applies, but you could count all of the cells that contain either "H" or "V" with this formula: =SUM(COUNTIF(B2:AF13,{"H","V"})) Is that something you can work with? -------------------------- Regards, Ron (XL2003, Win XP) Microsoft MVP (Excel) "Dave" wrote in message ...

Making a letter have a value
You won't be able to use the autosum, but this will work:
If your range to enter H's in is cells A1:A2 then this formula entered in cell A3 will convert H's to 1's: {=SUM(IF(A1:A2="H",1,0))} Note, this is entered as an array formula so press Ctrl+Shift+Enter instead of enter (which puts the { and } around the formula). If you want to put a half day (valued as 0.5) add an extra IF statement {=SUM(IF(A1:A2="H",1,IF(A1:A2="AH",0.5,0)))} I'm using "AH" as my backslash button seems to have stopped working :p Can you rate the post if it's any help please.

How about
=COUNTIF(B2:Z2,"H") ? In article , Dave wrote: Hi, I need to make a letter have a value, so I can then use auto sum to then add up.

Basically the same as your other question.
