Try this as a troubleshooting trick. In another cell, type a direct
reference to any cell that contains a number. So, for instance, if there's
data in B2 then type into this other cell =B2 and hit enter. Now go back to
that cell, and if the value is there, it's something else. However, if the
value in that cell is =B2 then hold down your control key and hit the grave
key to the left of the one, because you've gotten yourself into formula view
mode. This should switch you back.
Another possible problem is the type of data the cell expects. Hold down the
control key and press 1. This should get you into the cell format window.
Make sure you're on the cell type page and select Number and the number of
decimal places you want. (Probably 0) You can hit enter in any part of this
screen to return to your worksheet.

ok still not getting this  the formula i have tryed is  =COUNTIF(b2: b
420,50   but all that is showing up in the cel is what i have put in as
a
formaler  so jaws will say =COUNTIF(b2: b 420,50  b 427 and not the
answer.

I  hope I am makeing some sort of sence thanks Joe

As mentioned by others, the countif command is yourfriend in this. The
format is =COUNTIF(first cell in the range:last cell in the range,
value you want to count) The value can be a number, text in quotes, or
the contents of another cell.
Note that if you try to count in adjacent columns you can count them
all in one operation by setting the value after the colon to the last
cell in the second column. (or third, forth, etc.)
