  • Something like this should work: =SUMPRODUCT(1*(ISERROR(VALUE(RIGHT(G1:G10))))). I wasn't able to test this with a named table/column, though Commented Oct 14, 2017 at 16:51
  • @Bandersnatch Thanks for the response, but what I am trying to achieve is to count how many times a string (like "Area 25") occurs in a column.

  • Yes, that's what this formula does, except I thought you wanted to exclude cells that end with a number - like Area 25. Commented Oct 15, 2017 at 4:44
  • @Bandersnatch Sorry for being confusing. I have added a screenshot and added some details. Please check. Thank you.

    If it can be assumed that what you are looking for ends with "Area 25" or has "Area 25"+space+additional, then try this: =SUM(COUNTIFS(A21:A11,{"*Area 25","*Area 25 *"})) If you are not familiar an array can be used to capture note all of the alternatives, then the sum is counting each answer from the array.
