Subject: RE: excel 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.
