try =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"camera") where a1:a10 is the range where your data is held. -- Ruthki ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ruthki's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=24503 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=386414 |
