    Counting texts using a fist two letters

    Dear experts,

    Please refer the attached document.

    In column E (row 4 to 7 merged), I need the count of machines by considering the first two letters(SN). The machines numbers are entered as SN 217, SN 265 starting from Column G to DJ.

    For an example, total serviced Single Needle machines(SN) 36.

    And the same formula need to be applied to other machine types too.


    Regards

    Try this formula

    =COUNTIF(G4:DJ7,"SN*")
