Why the minus result
Hi
Here are two similar formulas and a typical result: ="flex"&" "&COUNTA(A11:A7799)-COUNTIF(A11:A7799,"") result: flex 612 ="process"&" "&COUNTA('Names'!O2:O1000)-COUNTIF('Names'!O2:O1000,"") result: process -276 My question is why the minus result for the latter formula when it should have been; process 276 |

Why the minus result
One guess at your intents
Maybe try this alternative: ="process "&SUMPRODUCT(--(Names!O2:O1000<"")) Likewise for the other one for "flex" Any good? hit the YES below -- Max Singapore --- "gotroots" wrote: Here are two similar formulas and a typical result: ="flex"&" "&COUNTA(A11:A7799)-COUNTIF(A11:A7799,"") result: flex 612 ="process"&" "&COUNTA('Names'!O2:O1000)-COUNTIF('Names'!O2:O1000,"") result: process -276 My question is why the minus result for the latter formula when it should have been; process 276 |

Why the minus result
Because there are more empty cells in O2:O1000 than filled in cells ??
