Countif "#INVALID OPERATION"

info.isaackwikcut92946

Hi

Im trying to count all "#INVALID OPERATION" in order to catch if someone has enter an invalid character etc in a cell which needs to be added up.

I have tried multiple things without success.

The following is using the New "contains" function which returns a larger count than it should.

=COUNTIF({O_Eq_Total_Hrs}, (CONTAINS("INVALID", {O_Eq_Total_Hrs})))

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

I would modify the formula creating the error by wrapping it with an IFERROR function. 

=IFERROR(INSERT YOUR FORMULA WITHOUT THE EQUAL SIGN HERE, "Error")

Then you could count if "Error" was appearing in the results. I don't think errors are actual data that can be counted. Wrapping the error in the IFERROR formula will give you data to count.
