    Count the number of times a specific text appears in column D

    I need a formula or macro for cell C4:

    Count the number of times "Dave's Auto" appears in D3 - D300 which is located in worksheet "2011".

    Thanks for any help :-)

    Perhaps:

    =Countif('2011'!D3:D300,"Dave's Auto")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    If you want to count the number of cells that contain: Dave's Auto
    try something like this:
    =Countif('2011'!D3:D300,"*Dave's Auto*")

    or this referenced version:
    A1: (text to find....eg Dave's Auto)
    B1: =Countif('2011'!D3:D300,"*"&A1&"*")

    Does that help?
