=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"I")

as an example

Sorry i messed up the formatting on my initial post- i will try again:

I have created a list box where the choice is either I or M. I need the
selection to convert to 0 or 1 accordingly. I then use SUM to add up the
total in a column.
Can anyone help this beginner please?
