I am trying to use the count if function and I am running into a bit of an issue. Just for example I want to count the number of cells that contain the text "1h", so I type the formula =countif(P9:P13,"*1h*")
The answer I am looking for should be 1, but it's coming back as 2. It's counting one of the cells that contains "21h" in the cell. Any suggestions?
 
See if this works.
I used cell Q7 to add the extra search (change to range you want to use).
If cell Q7 is left blank it would return 2 in the example below.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
