Counting data without specific text

Hi

 

I am trying to count reasons for leaving in a spreadsheet, I can count specific text but I want to try and count anything that I dont specify.  Is this possible?

 

I have used the following for specific text:

=COUNTIFS(F:F,"New Job")

=COUNTIFS(F:F,"Retirement")

=COUNTIFS(F:F,"End of Contract")

 

But I want to count anything that doesnt fit these criteria as other, how can this be done?

    You could use

     

    =COUNTA(F:F)-SUM(K24:K30)

     

    (I hope I got the range right, your screenshot is very small)
