Hi.
I want to use a countif on a spreadsheet but some of the cells are "2 & 7" for example and I want this to count +1 for the total 2's and total 7's, with a typical countif it obviously counts it as neither.
To make life easier, there are no double digits, so there is no need to worry about "17" counting as 1 and 7 etc with your possible methods.
Any idea how you'd do that?
You can use wildcard characters with COUNTIF, so you can do it like this:
=COUNTIF(range,"*2*")
Hope this helps.
Pete
If the column is preformatted as text, then possibly:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"*2*")
otherwise try:
=SUM(COUNTIF(A:A,{2,"*2*"}))
Where there is a will there are many ways.
