Hello,
I have number of records (see below) and want to know if I can use a function to count the number of records that contain a specific text string within each cell entry?.

e.g. records could be

FND Short Job Outcome.5000000\.00
FND Sustained Outcome.5000000\.00
.5000000\.00
.5000000\.00


I need a function to locate the text string "Outcome" and return a value of (in this case) = 2 records from the 4 entries.

Is this possible please?

Thanks,
GRA

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello,
I supposed you had put your data in column A and Row 1 to 4 : 

                    A
1   FND Short Job Outcome.5000000\.00
2   FND Sustained Outcome.5000000\.00
3   .5000000\.00
4   .5000000\.00


The formula is : =COUNTIF(A1:A4;"*Outcome*")

Best regards "Pour trouver une solution � ses probl�mes, il faut s'en donner la peine."

Hi,

Can you please let me know if there is a way where a particular text string can be counted within a value of a cell itself.

For example: A cell contains AAAABBBCCCAAA and I need to calculate occurrences of alphabet 'A' in this particular cell.
