Hi, I have got this spreadsheet and to the right I have used the "CountIF" function. The very first function on "Monday Week 1" fails to count the correct number. It returns 26, while it should be 27. Any idea why?Assets New.xlsx

Monday Week 1 in row 294 has extra space. Remove it and it will work.
Hi,
The last one on row 294 has a trailing space.
I can't help thinking that if you're working with dates you'd be better off listing actual dates. They can always be formulated to present as you wish but they would be more useful for all sorts of analysis.

Hi again,
Thanks very much for pointing me the problem. I spent about 3 hours trying to find the culprit to the problem.
How did you find the so called trailing space in row 294? Is there a command that makes spaces visible?
Does anybody know a variation of "CountIF" with a value that can single out "Monday Week 1" even if there is an additional text or spaces?
Regards

I put =LEN(C2) in a spare column and copied it down. I then switched on AutoFilter and filtered on Monday Week 1. Most were length 13, one was 14. Bingo! Then you select the cell and press F2 to go into Edit mode to see what's in the cell.
