Countif thats works erratically
When I set up a countif function relating to another sheet in a workbook,
most of the cells work but random one's don't and return a 0 even when the source cells have the correct criteria. I've checked the cell formatting and can't see why it doesn't work on random cells Help please!! |

Hi Paul,
It could be that the errant ones have been input as text instead of numbers, or vice-versa. Cheers "Paulinmarketing" wrote in message ...

Countif thats works erratically
The source cells contain text and are fomatted as general, changed them to
text but that doesn't cure the problem. I'm trying to get counts of cells with same text but some just don't work Thanks, Paul "macropod" wrote: Hi Paul, It could be that the errant ones have been input as text instead of numbers, or vice-versa.

Is your criteria 1 word or multiple words?
In either case, look for imbedded spaces (prefix and/or suffix), And if spaces are included in your criteria [CHAR(32)], make sure the data has the *same type* of spaces [maybe CHAR(160)]. -- HTH, RD ================================================== === Please keep all correspondence within the Group, so all may benefit! ================================================== === "Paulinmarketing" wrote in message ...
