COUNTIF
I am putting together a spreadsheet where I need Excel to count both when a
class is scheduled and when a grade is entered. When the class is scheduled the cell will contain a number designanting the term like 101. Later when the student recieves a grade the cell would contain the number and the letter grade, like 101A. How do I get Excel to count the cell under either condition. I would like it to count if there is either a number only or a number and a letter but NOT just a letter. Thank you! |
COUNTIF
So, a cell will contain either a number, a number combined with a letter or
a letter? Is the number *always* a 3 digit number? Is the letter *always* a single letter? Do you want to count a range of cells or is this just supposed to check a single cell? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "PatrickP" wrote in message ...

Hi Patrick,
you could try something like this =COUNTA(B1:B21)-COUNTIF(B1:B21,"=A")-COUNTIF(B1:B21,"GG") This will count all the non blank cells and then minus the count of cells which are equal or greater than A and less than or equal to GG Change the A and the GG to suit your letters. Check as I think that this is case sensitive Change the range to suit "PatrickP" wrote: I am putting together a spreadsheet where I need Excel to count both when a class is scheduled and when a grade is entered.

The cell would contain either a 3 digit number OR a 3 digit number with a
letter. For example, 101 or 101A. I want either to be counted and I want it to count a range of cells. Thanks. "T.

Hi Patrick,
Yes COUNTA counts all nonblank cells within the range "PatrickP" wrote: Winnie: Is COUNTA telling Excel to "count all?"

I would like it to count if there is either a number only
or a number and a letter but NOT just a letter. The cell would contain either a 3 digit number OR a 3 digit number with a letter.
