Use CountIf for a literal string
I am trying to count the number of cells in a range that contain the string
<0.1. I don't want the number of cells that contain numbers less than 0.1, I want the actual string. Is there an escape character for comparison operators like the tilde for wild cards? Thanks, Chad |

Hi,
<0.1 is a text string. If this is the only text string in the range, you may use the following formula =COUNTIF(C4:C9,"*") -- Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP "chadkwelch" wrote in message ...
