I'm wanted to build a formula that will do the following,

CountIF(Column begins with array) I can't see to get the function to work.

Reallife example

Count a column of postcodes to find any postcodes beginning with EH, LG,
etc... and giving me a total

If there are no blanks, you could use this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(PostCodes,PostCodeList&"*"))

where PostCodes is the range where you have your column of postcodes, and
PostCodeList is the list of specific codes you wish to count.
