How to write a count-if-not function?
the quickest way to achieve what you're after is to use the FIND
function to search the text, which will return an error if it can't find the relevant text. You can then use the ISERROR function with a '--' infront to return ones and zeros which you can simply add up. You will need to enter this as an array formula (hold ctrl+shift whilst pressing enter). So an example might be: =SUM(--ISERROR(FIND("foobar",A1:A5))) Rob Jon Quixley wrote: Jsatter, Take a look at the IS Functions in Excel, I am sure there is something here that will help Cheers Jon -- Jon Quixley ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Quixley's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=25803 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=562103 |

Try:
=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<*my phrase*") HTH "Jsatter" wrote: I am trying to write a function that counts the the cells within a range that do not include a certain phrase. |
