Hello, I am currently trying to write counting formula for a number of values in one row followed by cells that are not numerical but have a " - " sign.
So I have been trying =Countif(A1:Y5,"<> - ") but it does not seem to work. Can you help?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Try this:
=COUNTIF(A1:Y5,"<>*-")

or possibly
=COUNTIF(A1:Y5,"<>*-*")
depending if the - is the final character in the cell or not
The cell might display " - ", but could it be zero that is formatted as Accounting?
If so, try =COUNTIF(A1:Y5,"<>0")
Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
Formula in B1 =COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<>*-*") Formula in B2 =COUNTIF(A1:A5,"<>*-") Formula in B3 {=SUM(IF(ISTEXT(A1:A5)*IFERROR(FIND("-",A1:A5),0),1,0))}
