    counting cells - strikethrough text

    Hi there,

    I need to count cells that have strikes through the text, in a particular range with certain criteria. Can you give me some ideas how you would approach this with formulas?

    Thanks

    Martha

    If the strikethroughs are a result of conditional formatting, then you can perhaps use formulas.. otherwise you may have to resort to VBA
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    this UDF
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    inserted in a standard module
    will return true or false for a single cell
    us as normal function
    i.e.
    =IsStriked(A1)
    prhaps you can start with that

    Thanks Guys!

    Unfortunately, I am not familiar with VBA. I have created macros etc. but thats the extent of my current knowledge. I need to follow the steps to understand why I'm entering the data. Is there a basic VBA tutorial I can educate myself with on line?

    Thanks again!

    Martha
