Countif question
I need to be able to check the range D19:AB19 for any occurrence of the
phrase On Call. That is easy enough with the formula below so my problem is it could be entered as just On Call or On Call #1 or On Call #4 ect. So what I need is something that will count the occurance of On Call or any phrase containing On Call. =COUNTIF(D19:AB19,"On Call") |

Use =COUNTIF(D19:AB19,"On Call*")
where the asterisk (*) is a wild card meaning "and anything else after On Call" best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "Patrick C.
