How do I capture a text cell as a value to be able to sum?

I am trying to build a form in excel which requires the user to input TEXT in
a cell. I would like to sum the cells with the text to return a total number
of entries. Each text has the same value of 1 in the sum.

Hi!

One way:

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"*")

Hi

Try this:
=SUMPRODUCT((ISTEXT(E15:E23))*1)
where your range is E15:E23.
