Inches abbreviated as "

Options

Hello! I am trying to write a summary formula that will count the number of valves by size within a column. My problem is that the size description recently changed from the word "inch" to the symbol " as the inch abbreviation (ex: 2" for a 2-inch valve).

My old formula was: =COUNTIF([Valve Size]:[Valve Size], ="2 inch")

My New formula would be: =COUNTIF([Valve Size]:[Valve Size], ="2"") but I keep getting an error.

Any help would be appreciated!

    I tested this and you can actually just use the following formula without the " symbol:

    =COUNTIF([Valve Size]:[Valve Size], ="2")

    Hope this helps!:)

    Thank you so much for taking a look at this! I made that change, and I am not getting the error anymore. Unfortunately, it keeps bringing back a sum of zero and isn't counting the valves.
