Countif in Googlesheets

[josvill2010]

Hi, I have a straight forward formula to count all string starting with number 7 or 2. The usual Countif works well in most of the tabs.
There is one tab for which the formula appears not not working.
When I use =countif(Range,"7*"). It brings a zero. but I can see many strings starting with number 7 and 2.

When using =sumproduct(--(left(RANGE)="7")). I get #REF!
When I count them manually, i get 24 starting with 7 and 27 starting with number 2.

Any other suggestions to change the formula?

If you're getting #REF! then that means that the range doesn't exist, if that is referring to a named range then it has not been defined correctly.

I tried to change the tab name to see if anything changes but nothing. It hasn't worked.
I checked to make sure and there is not named range used.

If you change the tab name then you will need to edit the formula to reflect that. Even something as simple as an extra space can cause the error.

There is nothing else that will cause the error other than an incorrect name or sheet reference, whatever 'Range' refers to in your formulas.

As it's google sheets, you can post a link to your file here and I can take a look at it for you but please remember to allow editing before doing so.
