    Count needed - numeric values excluding the text value NA

    I am preparing a count of items from Survey Monkey that may include the answer NA. I'll be counting the data from 40 questions. The other responses will include the numbers 1 - 6. I need the total count of the 1 - 6 excluding the NA. Thank you, in advance, for your help

    Text value or error value?

    Re: Count needed - numeric values excluding the text value NA

    The clients are completing a Survey and they choose the numeric value 1 through 6 to rate their response, but they are given the option of no opinion and enter the text value NA. Does that help?

    If the responses are in column A enter the numbers from 1-6 and NA in column E. In column F enter and copy down.

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNTIF(A:A,E1)


    This will give a count of each 1 to 6 response.

    In G1 enter

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =SUM(F1:F6)
    This will give the total number of responses that are 1 to 6

    If you simply want a count of the responses that are 1 to 6

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNT(A:A)


    Text values will be ignored.

    Re: Count needed - numeric values excluding the text value NA

    Thank you! While I was waiting I re-read the COUNT fx and realized it will automatically exclude a text entry. So, I've tested and am good to go! I very much appreciated the replies and they did help!

    This is how it looked:
    =COUNT(Sheet1!A2,Sheet1!D2,Sheet1!H2,Sheet1!K2,Sheet1!U2,Sheet1!W2,Sheet1!AE2,Sheet1!AG2,Sheet1!AP2,Sheet1!AQ2,Sheet1!AR2)

    Thanks, Linda

    Re: Count needed - numeric values excluding the text value NA

    You can also use a range in counting if there isn't other numeric values that you don't want to count:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNT(Sheet1!A2:AR2)


    If there is more than one row like this where there are 98 rows:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =COUNT(Sheet!1A2:AR100)
