How do I count cells that contain a number of charctors.
How do I count cells that contain a number of charctors or specific criteria.
i have a column of cells that contain a range of values and i want to count only the cells that contain a specific type of value (PO-31233334/M8689901) vs (31233376/M8694101). If this is not possible then I'd like to count cells that contain a specific number of charactors (20). |

To count the number of values in column D that begin with PO:
=SUMPRODUCT((LEFT(D1:D100,2)="PO")*(D1:D100<"")) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200812 |

Try these:
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"PO-31233334/M8689901") Or, use a cell to hold the criteria: F1 = PO-31233334/M8689901 =COUNTIF(A1:A100,F1) To count cells that contain 20 characters: =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(A1:A100)=20)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Picman" wrote in message ...

Thanks, that worked to a certain extent but I do have some cells that meet
that criteria (begin with €œPO€) but are still invalid as they do not contain the correct number of characters or begin with €œPO€ and are 20 characters in length but do not meet a standard format (PO-7611189-0710/M895 vs. PO-31245184/M8768901). The standard that I require to be met is €œPO-########/M#######€ and any variances, including being case sanative, be counted.
