On the below formula I would like to count if the data in A6 is contained in
A7 where A7 may have more data. =COUNTIFS(A6,"=" & A7) Specifically, A6 may be CE where A7 is CECFCG. I'm not sure what to put in place of "=" to pull a wildcard type result of CE* |

You are close
'use wildcard =COUNTIF(A7,"*" & A6 & "*") 'combined with IF() function =IF(COUNTIF(A7,"*" & A6 & "*"),"Yes","no") If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "sc" wrote: On the below formula I would like to count if the data in A6 is contained in A7 where A7 may have more data. =COUNTIFS(A6,"=" & A7) Specifically, A6 may be CE where A7 is CECFCG.

Worked great, thanks. I really only needed the wild card after the entry so
=COUNTIF(A7,A6 & "*") is what I end up with. Didn't really understand the cell reference format until now.
