Default Counting cells that do not contain N/A

Hi Sandy,

the OP was asking about count - if he used COUNT and the values were
numbers then this would ignore it (and he wouldn't have the problem),
so I assumed they must be text values and he was using COUNTA. I was
also making the distinction between #N/A and N/A, so the OP could put
in the appropriate one if he really meant #N/A.

There's a bit of logic to my posts now and then !! <bg

Pete,

If N/A was typed in and thus text, wouldn't SUM() ignore it anyway?

If N/A has been typed in (rather than the error #N/A), then try this:


=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<N/A")


Hope this helps.
