Hi all,
This one may be hard to explain, but I'll do my best.
Via the table below.
I need to:
Answer would be 5, as only B9 is going to meet the criteria
I know I can use a <> as part of the criteria in this example because I am only excluding 2 values. but the real example can have many values, and I would like for users to be able to enter values into a column and have the formula automatically pull from that column and exclude whatever values are in there.
For a variety of reasons, need to do this as a formula, and NOT VBA
So the unique thing here, is specifying a range of cells to use for a <> exclusion criteria, instead of putting each value manually into the formula as a bunch of <>'s

Is there hope in solving this challenge?
Crossing fingers :>
Thanks all
