Data1 is a named range of nine cells. The values in each cell of Data1 will always be 1 to 9 or a combination of numbers 1 to 9 and each cell will have no duplicates. And each cell could have just 1 number or perhaps three or all 9.
P1 is a cell with a Data Validation drop down list of numbers 1 to 9.
In a separate cell I have used =COUNTIF(Data1,P1) to count the number times the P1 value occurs in Data1. It does not work.
Can you suggest a formula to do this?
Thanks.

Hi Howard
Your formula works for me using 2010, given that the Data1 is purely
digits 1 to 9. I changed it around and included 4 x 6's and a variety of
different combinations and it still worked for me.
What type of combination are you referring to, and when you say, "Not
Working", can you give an example of what the cell is displaying, if
anything.

Hi Mick,
Thanks for the response
Here is a sample of entries for Data1. With 4 in the drop down cell P1 I would expect to return the value 5. =COUNTIF(Data1,P1) returns 0 (zero).
123456789 456 234
123 4 479
5 149 289

Have a look at the attachment. Is this what you mean?
I cannot take credit for the formula. I pinched it from another forum and adapted it to your needs.
Worth pointing out that in your example above, there are not 5 instances of 4, but rather 6 :)
