Maybe
=COUNTIF(A:A,"*hmyu*") or for the string beginning with hmyu =COUNTIF(A:A,"hmyu*") Mike "arch0072" wrote: i have a column with over 2000 alpha character rows that i'm trying to count.

Try this:
=COUNTIF(D:D,"*hmyu*") I've assumed your data is in column D. You can use wildcards with COUNTIF. Hope this helps.

Yes, tested OK. I may have misunderstood the OP requirements but it does what
it was intended to do. i.e count the instances of hmyu either within or at the start of any string in any cell in A:A your issue being?
