Friends,
I downloaded data from a DB2 file to a spreadsheet. I am trying to use the COUNTA function to detect how many asterisks "*" I have in a column. In this column I am supposed to have asterisks or blanks. I have 1772 rows and when I execute the function, is returning 1772 as the count so I know that the apparent blanks are not really that. How can I improve the function so I can count the number of asterisks only and not count those "invisible strings" I am downloading?
I am using ODBC connections to refresh the data on the spreadsheet automatically, so the downloaded data can be different from time to time.
Thanks in advance,
Peter Vidal
