I'm trying to use the countif function - it is working with some of my
values, but not with others...
The data is all text (ie AS, BS, CS, SM, etc). It isn't working with only
some of the data, but I haven't changed anything. My formula is:
=countif(range,cell that contains value to be counted)
What am I doing wrong here?

I'm copying the data in from another spreadsheet. If I re-enter the data in
manually it counts it properly, but then my Vlookup for the same entered data
does not work.
