2(Sold)
5
7
1(Sold)
6
10
21

And I want to count the number of cells with (Sold) in them. The numbers prefixing the (Sold) are of no consequence for this calculation.

I thought something along the lines of =countif(A1:A10,Sold) but of course that doesn’t work. (Well doesn’t for me). The answer I’m looking for is of course 2 in the above example.

I was thinking along the lines of a “Wild Card” prefixing the Sold, say, *.(Sold) but that doesn’t work either.

So I thought I’d check with the XL experts to see if it can be done. :D
