    Count specific wording in column heading

    Hello All

    Please see attached.

    I need a formula in column AD that will do the following.

    - Look in columns AT, BH, BM, BO, and return ONLY the total count of cells that are blank, read "0", or "Assigned".

    Let me know if you need further clarification

    I hope that I have given a decent explanation of my issue. I apologize if I have titled a thread in a manner that is difficult to comprehend. At the end of the day, I believe I need some sort of count if help.

    Maybe something like this: =SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A5,{"Assigned",0,""}))

    Adjust it for your range

    This is my interpretation of what I think you are asking:
    Enter this in AD5 and fill down.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Here's another one...

    =SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"AT5","BH5","BM5","BO5"}),{"";0;"Assigned"}))
