Should I be using IF to find how many times a word occurs in a ran
Hi
I have an area B3:AF78 and I need to know how many times the word "Ruth" appears within this range. Each cell only contains one name. I will need this formula for a number of names within the range. I tried this formula but it didnt work and I think I may be using the wrong formula completely. Can anyone help at all. =IF(B3:AF78="Ruth",1,0) Many thanks Ruth |

Hi Ruth
=COUNTIF($B$3:$AF$78,"Ruth") If you are wanting to count several names, better to put the names in a cell e.g. AG1, then use =COUNTIF($B$3:$AF$78,AG1) If you put other names in AG2, Ag3 etc, you can then just copy the formula down. -- Regards Roger Govier "ruthie_toothy" wrote in message ...
