countif

[gemsey]

Hi,

I'm having problems with finding the right formula. I've been using a
countif to find the count of invoices which start with a 4. I've not been
having much luck so any help would be greatly appreicated.

Below is my sample data and formula I've been using:

=COUNTIF(C1:C3,"4*")

Row C
5017846
6007051
4000124

One way: =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(C1:C3)="4"))

Thanks for the answer. Another question. I'm going to be needing a sumif
type formula also. For example for all invoices starting with 4 give me the
sum of the bills.

row C row d
5017730 10202.74
5017737 12879.33
5017744 25526.04
5017846 3261.97
6007051 12521.43
4000124 1011.68

Try

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(C1:C6)="4")*D16)
