    Requesting count of rows that start with "abc"

    I cant get LEFT to work with COUNTIF so that abcx and abcz will be counted.

    =COUNTIF((LEFT(temp.xls!B1:B4000,3)="abc"),"abc") doesnt work

    Try:

    =Countif(temp.xls!B1:B4000,"abc*")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
