I think we need a little more information, John. Variable is a VBA word, but
you posted in the worksheet functions, so I'm not sure that's what you mean.
Could you provide an example of exactly what you want to do?

I would like to get Excel to add together a list of variables mostly x , y
and z and tell me how many of each I have...can I do this and how?

Thanks
