Counting occurences of text
Dear Experts,
I am trying to count the appearance of text in a cell. When I use COUNTA it also counts the existence of the formula in the cell (which was used to deliver the text of interest). How can I count only the textual result of the formula? =IF(G4=0,"",G4) Alternatively how can I count non-zero entries, excel didn't like the following: =COUNTIF(G4:G63,<0) regards Martina |

Counting occurences of text
To count cells that contain TEXT and exclude formula blanks:
=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"?*") =COUNTIF(G4:G63,<0) Try it like this: =COUNTIF(G4:G63,"<0") -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "jc132568" wrote in message ...

This formula is ignored "0s" but included blank cells
=COUNTIF(G4:G63,"<0") These formula are ignored both "0s" and blank cells =COUNTIF(G4:G63,"0")+COUNTIF(G4:G63,"<0") or =COUNT(G4:G63)-COUNTIF(G4:G63,0) "jc132568" wrote: Dear Experts, I am trying to count the appearance of text in a cell.
