    Hi gyansetu,

    Instead of the question mark use Char(63) in your formula.

    Or using Tims answer from above, try:

    =COUNTIF(A1:A15,"*~?*")

    wildcards only work as wildcards in certain scenarios, so assuming you want to count cells that are exactly equal to ? in A2:A100 you could use this formula

    =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100="?")+0)
    Audere est facere
