I have excel 2003 and I want to be able to create a column with y's and n's
and count up the number of y's and n's

I also want to be able to do this with the letters b w a h o in order to
calculate the number of people from different races.

Any information you can provide would be appreciated

Look at HELP for the COUNTIF function
