Hi, I'm a beginner in Excel and I'm trying out some wildcard usage in Excel but I have run into some problems. Hope you guys can help me with it. Thanks!
Okay, the problem is that I have the following info in the cells A1:A4:
434
454
31
122
Now in the next cell A5, I type the function =countif(A1:A4,"4?4"). But I get a number 0 rather than 2.
However when I change the cells A1:A4 to:
A3A
A5A
31
122
and i type =countif(A1:A4,"A?A"), the function worked and give me a result of 2.
How can I rectify this problem? Why does it work for letters and not numbers?
