Counting rows

[gary c]

How can I count the rows starting with the cell containing "ASSESSMENT
NUMBER" through the next cell containing "PAID STATUS"? Then, how
can I assign the resulting count to the rows upon which that count was
derived?

Here's my spreadsheet:

A

ASSESSMENT NO 001310350-1 TAX YEAR 2008 TAXABILITY CD 0-00
70-0012 13.00 .00
70-0015 24.50 .00
PAID STATUS UNPAID

Hi Gary

'Change Column Ref's to suit

=COUNTIF("$A$1:$A$1000", "ASSESSMENT NUMBER")

now if you want to count rows based on 2 criteria then

=SUMPRODUCT(--($A1:$A1000 = "ASSESSMENT
NUMBER"),--($B$1:$B$1000=YourCriteria))

Oops

Correction.

=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$1000, "ASSESSMENT NUMBER")
