How to tell COUNTIF to not count a few characters
Hi Rafa
Countif is a very efficient function =COUNTIF(F14:F43,"OFF*") will deal with both Off and Off Site =COUNTIF(F14:F43,"Admin") Deduct these values from your other value to get the net figure. -- Regards Roger Govier "Rafa" wrote in message ...

How to tell COUNTIF to not count a few characters
If you are looking for exact words in the cells then try
=SUM(COUNTIF(F14:F43,{"OFF","Admin","Off site"}) OR incase you are looking for text string within the entries then try the below..You can ignore Off site since "Off" is already mentioned in the search list =SUM(COUNTIF(F14:F43,"*" & {"OFF","Admin"} & "*")) "Rafa" wrote: Im working on a colum that is a medical schedule for Doctor who will be working that day so that I know how many exam rooms will be needed - right now Im working with: =COUNTIF(F14:F43,"*") which tells me how many cells are not blank.
