Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

To count the number of cells in a range of cells which containing the even numbers, we can use the SUMPRODUCT function along with the MOD function.

Formula


=COUNTIF(Invoice_No,"*w*")

How this formula works

In the above example a range name "Invoice_No" have been definded instead of a range. The COUNTIF function counts the cells where the letter "w" exists in the text.

Count no. of cells containing specific text using criteria range

Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

Explanation

Counts number of cells containing "w" at any position in the text using criteria variable.

Formula


=COUNTIF(Invoice_No,D7)

How this formula works

In the above example a range name "Invoice_No" have been definded instead of a range. The only difference with the previous is a criteria variable have been used.

Count no. of cells containing specific text using criteria variable

Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

Formula


=COUNTIF(Invoice_No,"*"&D7&"*")

How this formula works

In the above example range name and criteria variable have been used. To understand "w" at any position of the text the wildcard character "*" have been used. The "*" and the criteria variable D7 have been concatinated by & operator.

Count no. of cells containing specific text ( case sensitive ) using criteria variable

Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

Syntax of used function(s)

SUMPRODUCT(array1, [array2], [array3], ...)
ISNUMBER(value)
FIND(find_text, within_text, [start_num])

The SUMPRODUCT function is used to multiplies the corresponding components in the given arrays, and returns the sum of those products.
The ISNUMBER funtion returns True if the value refers to a number.
The FIND function is used to locate one text string within a second text string, and return the number of the starting position of the first text string from the first character of the second text string.

Formula


=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(FIND(D7,Employee))))

How this formula works

Inside the formula the ISNUMBER(FIND(D7,Employee)) works as -

the FIND function returns the number of the position where the text (written in variable D7 ) found and ISNUMBER function converts it into True or False and make an array like -


{FALSE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;TRUE;FALSE;FALSE;} 

Therefore the double negative (--) sign will convert the True and False in 1 and 0's and at last the SUMPRODUCT will give the result.

Count no. of cells, does not contain specific text

Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

Explanation

To count the number of cells does not contain the letter "w" at any position of a text from a range of cells, the COUNTIF function can be used.

Formula


=COUNTIF(Invoice_No,"<>*w*")

How this formula works

In the above example a range name "Invoice_No" have been definded instead of a range. The COUNTIF function counts the cells where the letter "w" does not exists in the text.

Count no. of cells, does not contain specific text excluding blank

Which function is used to count the number of cells in a range containing text?

Syntax of used function(s)

COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…)

The COUNTIFS function applies criteria to cells across multiple ranges and counts the number of times all criteria are met

Explanation

To count the number of cells( ignore blank cell ) does not contain the letter "w" at any position of a text from a range of cells, the COUNTIF function can be used.

Formula


=COUNTIFS(Invoice_No,"<>*w*",Invoice_No,"?*")

How this formula works

In the above example the COUNTIFS function counts the cells that does not contain the "w" at any position in the range "Invoice_No" and met another criteria that, the cell does not contain any character.

We have a large spreadsheet which tracks the hiring process for a large organization with multiple Bureaus and Departments.

I am trying to determine the formula for the following scenarios so I can create a "dashboard" summary on a different worksheet:

I need to determine the number of Job Titles per Bureau. The info resides in 2 columns. Column D lists the Bureau Name (there are 8 Bureaus listed. An example of a Bureau name is BAM) and Column G lists the Job Titles (currently there are 123 different titles in the data). I need to determine the unique job titles per Bureau.

I also need to do the same thing for Departments. There are 24 different departments and they are listed in Column E.

Please help! I've tried different combinations of COUNTIFS, COUNTA, IFERROR but I haven't landed on the right solution.

Which function can count cells containing text?

To count all the text values in the given Excel sheet, you can use the COUNTIF function along with a wildcard character. This function with a wildcard counts all the text values in a given range. To count the cells with text in Excel, choose a destination cell and enter the formula =COUNTIF(range,criteria).

Which function is used to count the number of cells that contain numbers in a range Countif () SUM () Sumif () count ()?

Excel COUNTIF function is used for counting cells within a specified range that meet a certain criterion, or condition. For example, you can write a COUNTIF formula to find out how many cells in your worksheet contain a number greater than or less than the number you specify.

What is the function used to count the number of cells that contains something in them if the criteria are met?

Use COUNTIF, one of the statistical functions, to count the number of cells that meet a criterion; for example, to count the number of times a particular city appears in a customer list.
