Default Can I use NOT with COUNTIF?

Can I use NOT with COUNTIF?

I have a column with values of "Complete" an "Not Complete". I don't want
to add the "Not Complete" in the count. I've racked my brains for a few
hours now and can't seem to get it right. I figured this would be simple,
but I'm stumped. I'm not sure if this is the right formula to use since NOT
returns TRUE or FALSE. Please help.

Column F
Row 3 Complete
Row 4 Not Complete

=COUNTIF(F3:F4,NOT("Not Complete"))

I'm looking for a result of 1.

Thanks,
Jake

Hi

=COUNTIF(F3:F4,<"Not Complete")

Or maybe better:

=COUNTIF(F3:F4,="Complete")


Hopes this helps.

Forget my last post.

=COUNTIF(F3:F4,"Complete")

Or if you want to count entires different from Not Complete you can use
this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(F3.F4<"Not Complete"))

Best regards,
Per

Try it like this:

=COUNTIF(F3:F4,"<Not Complete")

The < operator means "not equal to".

Note that it will count all cells not equal to Not Complete and this
includes empty/blank cells.
