Count the number of cells that conatin a "." in a range
I need a formula, like the countif function, that will count the number of
cells that contain a period. The countif function only looks for exact matches of the criteria. Is there any way I can put in the criteria a contains function? =Countif(A2:B6, contains(".")) I can't imagine this would be difficult. |

If you'd been sitting with me when I read your answer you'd have seen me
smack myself in the forehead and then subsequently fall out of my chair. It wasn't pretty. Thanks for such a simple answer!
