Hi,

I am using the countif formula in my spreadsheet to count the number
of times "DPRS" appears in say column G. for some reason it keeps
givong me the wrong answer i.e. instead of 29 I get 9 as the
answer.When I filter for "DPRS" I get 29. There are no blank cells in
between.

Thanks,

Manir

Hi,

the answer may be spaces, try this

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TRIM(G1:G13)="DPRS"))

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

i would appreciate aeply.

Post the formula that you are using. Does it cover the correct range
of column G? Could you have spaces before or after some of those DPRS
values? You might like to try this:

=COUNTIF(G:G,"*DPRS*")

Hope this helps.
