Default Sun IF two data types are the same in a single column

If you are counting the number of cells that contain either "Q" or "S", try
this:

=SUM(COUNTIF(H$7:H$1300,{"q","s"}))

Note: COUNTIF is NOT case sensitive

Does that help?

Am sure their is an easy answer to this !! But am trying to count the number
of times the letter Q and S appear in the samE column.

The formulae to count Q which works is as below :-

{=SUM(IF(H$7:H$1300 = "Q",1,0))}

What I would like to write for Q and S is :-

{=SUM(IF(H$7:H$1300 = "Q" or "S",1,0))}

But it does not work !!!!!!!!!

Would really appreciate any help on this,
Thanks,
David.
