I put
=3DCOUNTIF(D9:H9, "p")
and it works, but the row may have several different=20
codes, so i need it to be able to count whether its p or=20
a=20
or h

=3Dcountif(d9:h9,"p", "a") doesnt work

Try with

=3DCOUNTIF(TheRange, "p")

where TheRange is a reference to the range that contains=20
the p's and h's.

--=20
