** To count text cells in Excel, you can use the COUNTIF function. Here's how you can do it:
- Open your Excel spreadsheet.
- Select the cell where you want the count result to appear.
- Enter the following formula:
=COUNTIF(range, "*")
Replace "range" with the actual range of cells in which you want to count text. The asterisk (*) is used as a wildcard character, so this formula will count all cells that contain any text.
Press Enter.
Excel will calculate the count of text cells within the specified range and display the result in the selected cell.
If you want to count text cells that meet specific criteria, you can modify the formula accordingly. For example, if you want to count cells that contain the text "apple," you can use the following formula:
=COUNTIF(range, "*apple*")
Again, replace "range" with the actual cell range you want to search in, and the formula will count cells containing the word "apple."
Remember that Excel functions are not case-sensitive by default, so "apple" and "Apple" will both be counted using these formulas. If you want to make the search case-sensitive, you may need to use a different function, such as SUMPRODUCT with EXACT, or you can use an array formula with SUM and IF. **
