Hi All,
In Excel 2002, I want to count the number of cells in a column that are
non-blank AND contain a particular literal string among the characters in the
cell. As an example, I want to count all non-blank cells that contain "abc" in
their contents. In the sample column below, the value I seek would be 2:
A1 "bca"
A2 "cats are gray"
A3 "dogs are brown"
A4
A5 "bats fly"
A6 "this is as simple as abc"
A7 "a bc"
A8 "zebras"
A9 "12 45 abc 67"
Only cells A6 and A9 meet the criterion.
I tried =COUNTIF(A1:A9, "abc") but that returned zero because no cell
contains just "abc".
Is there a way to substitute a string function in place of the literal, "abc"?
Thanks for the help.
Ray Shapp
