How to count cells that do not contain "-"
I have a row of data where each cell is using a VLOOKUP formula - the formula
either returns a number or "-". I need to count all the cells that contain a NUMBER only and I don't want to count the cells that contain "-". I have tried COUNTIF, SUMPRODUCT... Please help Example A B C D 1 3 - 4 I want formula in this cell to return the value of 2 (because there are numbers in cell A1 and C1, while B1 contains "-" which I don't want to count. |

How to count cells that do not contain "-"
If the choices for each cell are a number of a dash, then you can use:
=count(a1:c1) to count the numbers If you could have anything in those cells, you could use: =3-countif(a1:c1,"-") (3 is the number of cells in the range you're checking.) jcannon1 wrote: I have a row of data where each cell is using a VLOOKUP formula - the formula either returns a number or "-".

How to count cells that do not contain "-"
ps. I'm assuming that you really have a dash in the cell. Not a 0 with a
special format.

Thanks Mike! This worked perfectly. Can you tell me what the 2 dashes ("--")
after the sumproduct signify?
