Len Formula need help please?

[Andrzej]

Hello Everybody,

Can somebody help me please and tell how is the formula looks like if I want to count how many for example "H" letters are in range between F1 to R1

 

[JoeMo]

This is an array formula - confirm with ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter. It's case sensitive and will count all cells in the range F1:R1 that contain one or more letters"H".

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),1,0))

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),1,0))

Thanks a lot for you help really appreciated. May I ask for one more please? I need exactly the same by at the end I want formula to count H as 0.5 not 1?

Well, the formula states that for each cell that contains an "H" it should count 1, else 0, so looks pretty obvious what should be adjusted if you want to count 0.5 instead of 1.

I did change it, I thought it could work however when I placed 0,5 ( its says that I had to many arguments etc) and when I placed 0.5 it doesn't work. Is there anything I should add in there? sorry to be a pain but am really sh.. with excel

When you're ready editing the formula, don't forget to confirm with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER, not just ENTER.

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),[COLOR="#FF0000"][B].5[/B][/COLOR],0))

Are you sure you did the ctrl+shift+enter after the change? You could also divide by 2.

=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),0.5,0))
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),1,0))/2

Try this:
=SUM(IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("H",F1:R1)),1,0))/2
