I am setting up a very simple spread sheet with a work schedule for
volunteers.

In Fields A-4 through A-24, I have their names. In fields B-4 to
A-24 I
have an X showing they are working that date. These columns are
repeated
all the way though T-4 to T-24.

What I am trying to do is have a count of the X's by column at the
bottom of
each column.

I have tried several different formulas, but keep receiving the error
message of the formula you typed contains an error..

I have been reading the newsgroup to see if it had been covered, but
could
not find anything on it. Of course I could have followed the
newsgroup for
more than a day and maybe stumbled across it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Bob
