Try a formula like this:
=COUNTIF(CellRange,"<>TBD")

where CellRange is the area you want to test.

Hope this helps.

Scott

How can I count all the pages of more than 16000 documents in a folder. They are *doc and *.docx files.

The number of pages (printed?) would be a function of font size & margins. The number of words would be easier to get a handle on using something like http://ginstrom.com/CountAnything/
or the word counting feature in WORD.
Unfortunately you'd have to open the files to get a count; easy for a few but not so easy for 16,000 files. :(
You could 'count' a sampling of files, then estimate the rest based on file size to word count correlation.

Or you could 'print' the files to PDF & then merge them into a single PDF document. This would give a better printed page count. The could be done on a sampling basis.

Show syllables in words

Perl is a great language for this type of problem.

I recommend using Perl, and installing the Lingua::Phonology::Syllable module. Here is a working example:

use Lingua::Phonology;
use Lingua::Phonology::Syllable;
my $phono = Lingua::Phonology->new();
$phono->features->loadfile;
$phono->symbols->loadfile;
# Create a new Syllable object
my $syll = new Lingua::Phonology::Syllable;
# Create an input word
my @word = $phono->symbols->segment('s','h','e','p','h','e','r','d');
# Allow onset clusters and simple codas
$syll->set_complex_onset;
$syll->set_coda;
# Syllabify the word
$syll->syllabify(@word);
my $count = $syll->count_syll;
print "Count: $count\n"; # prints "Count: 2"
# @word now has features set to indicate a syllabification of
# <shep><herd>

Setting a Formula

You should use the formula COUNT (Cell1, Cell2), please replace Cell1 and Cell2 for the range of your cells in Excell. You could use too the formula COUNT.IF(Cell1,Cell2,Criterion), Cell1 and Cell2 is the range of cells when can exist an entry.
Example The final formula is like:
COUNT(A1:A5)/COUNT.IF(A1:A5,"=x")*100

Calculated field in Excel pivot

Count will only work with numbers. So select another box where you want your number and use this formula: =count(x:x) This should give the count number then you will need to find the difference. In another box, use =sum(x-x). This should give you your difference.


If this helps you, please rate me. Thanks, Patty
