I need the count function to check on the number
of occurances a particular value is exceeded.

This will count cells that contain a number greater than 100.

=COUNTIF(A1:Z100,"100")

Or, using a cell to hold the criteria...

AB1 = 100

=COUNTIF(A1:Z100,""&AB1)

Can you change the count function seeing formulas in cells as data. This
makes the function completely useless. I have an array 1000 cells X 500
cells. I need the count function to check on the number of occurances a
particular value is exceeded. The data is read into each of these cells by
a
formula.
