I am using the following formula =COUNTIF(Sheet1!F:F,"*MEDICAL CENTER : PROPERTY : BHU") this is returning an incorrect count and I can't figure out why, there are only 9 events and my formula is returning 148. The portion in parenthesis is copied and pasted from the raw data to assure I captured it exactly as it is entered. Any suggestions on a better more precise formula?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney

I took the context of the formula and put it in a single cell and followed your steps and it returned 1. Is this what you would anticipate?
