I have a spreadsheet with data in one column and I am using the formula
=Countif(A:A,A1) to count the number of instances of certain values in the
column. When certain combinations of parentheses characters are included in the
cell, the countif formula returns a value of zero (0).
Excel correctly calculates the instances of the values in the column.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new spreadsheet
2. Paste the following data into column A:
A
B
C
A
D

3. In cell B1 enter the following formula "=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)".
4. Copy this formula down in column B so each value in the column A has a
corresponding formula in column B.
Actual Results:
The formula in column B returns the following results:
2
