    Count no. of cells Starting with a particular value within a column

    Hi everyone, I have another question...

    How can I get the number of cells that start with a particular value in a column?
    e.g "ST"

    -------A
    1 ST1253
    2 SVST5
    3 5012-2
    4 5003-2
    5 A1G03
    6 A1G04
    7 ST9013

    The value will be "2"... but how can I do it via formula?

    Thanks!
    SC

    Try this

    Assumes your data begins in A1

    =COUNTIF(A1:A7,"ST*")

    (The asterisk is a wildcard)

    Hope this helps
