Count question mark with a formula in an excel report

It seems easy but not at all, if my cells have only the question mark “?”, it is a simple formula but if my cells are a question like that “group1 ?”, the simple formula will not work so to get the result I need to add 2 extra characters into the formula.

When I use the formula ?

To count how many questions.

 

How to use the formula ?

The formula in this topic is with "," so depending of the operating system of your PC, the formula should have ";" instead of ",".

 

How are the formulas ?

=COUNTIF()

=COUNTIFS()

Put this formula:

=COUNTIF(A:A,"*~?")

To count only for a specific group:

=COUNTIFS(A:A,"*~?",B:B,"unix")
