Default Totaling a column or row of "x" s

Column A - Rows 9-28 have several questions that participants answer by
marking an X in Columns B-N, rows 9-28. I want a total of all the Xs
to print on Line 29. Also if it makes a difference I am working in Excel
2000.
Thanks

Describe your data layout and what you want to do.

I must be doing something wrong - I put that formula in the cell where I want
the total to print - right? Then what do I use the auto sum function key?
If so, that's not working. Thanks.

Try something like this:

Count of x's in Col_C
=COUNTIF(C:C,"x")

Count of x's in Row_4
=COUNTIF(4:4,"x")

Is that something you can work with?

instruction. Thanks.
