    Counting if a certain cell is populated

    I am using the countifs function but I only want to count values if a particular cell is populated wildcards don't seem to be working this is the formula =COUNTIFS('TOB Data'!$BJ$2:$BJ$1500,"*",'TOB Data'!$BQ$2:$BQ$1500,$L3,'TOB Data'!$BS$2:$BS$1500,M$2

    Can you post workbook example to illustrate the problem, as wildcards work for my test.

    "*" will work for text content. Your cells contain a value, so use ">0"

    For numerical values, you could also just use the COUNT function, thus negating the need for >0 or "*".
