If I were to write
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*123*")
It would only count if cells A1 to A100 contained 123
But if 123 was stored in cell B1 how would I write it ?
for example
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,*B1*)
but I know this doesnt work

Try this
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*"&B1&"*")

Hi,
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*"&B1&"*")
will work.
Incidentally with your original you wouldn't pick up a value which was a numeric 123. You'd need
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*123")+COUNTIF(A1:A100,123)
