How To Count Cells With A Specific Content In A Range in Excel

In this lesson you will teach yourself how to count the number of cells with specific content in a range in clever way. You need only one formula to do this!

To count a number of cells with a text in a specific range you just need to use sumproduct function.  You can build formula like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(–ISTEXT(RANGE))

You can count a number of cells with a value as well with similar formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(–ISNUMBER(RANGE))

There are others functions you can use with this kind of formulas:

  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISBLANK(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISERR(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISERROR(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISEVEN(NUMBER))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISFORMULA(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISLOGICAL(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISNA(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISNONTEXT(RANGE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISODD(NUMBER))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISOWEEKNUM(DATE))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISPMT(RATE,PER,NPER,PV))
  • =SUMPRODUCT(–ISREF(RANGE))

Isn’t an Excel wonderful that makes your life so much easier?
