Counting text?

[mower racer]

Hi Guys

If i have a column in excel with text in it. Either "pass" or "fail",
how can i count the number of entries? Is there a formula to do this?

cheers

use countif():

=COUNTIF($A:$A,C1) where C1 contains pass.

="Pass = "&COUNTIF(A:A,"pass")&CHAR(10)&"Fail = "&COUNTIF(A:A,"fail")

Format as "Word Wrap"
