Hi!

Try one of these:

=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:J1,"A")*5,COUNTIF(A1:J1,"M")*3)

=SUMPRODUCT(((A1:J1="A")*5)+((A1:J1="M")*3))

=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:J1,{"A","M"})*{5,3})

We have a spreadsheet that we are to enter either an "A", "B", or "M" to
designate whether some is "Above", or "Meets", or is "Below" a
designation.

An "A" equals 5 points
An "M" equals 3 points
and the "B" equals 0 points

I would like a formula that allows me to designate the value for each
entry
in the row and adds the values together. So, if there are 4 "A"s and 5
"M"s,
the result will be 35.

Thanks!
