The Error Types return text strings, so a simple COUNTIF should work:

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"#DIV/0!")
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"#NAME?")
etc...

in my formulation list workbook, i have one column filled with different
formulas...
result can be a text, number, and all sorts of known error types....e.g.

#NULL!
#DIV/0!
#VALUE!
#REF!
#NAME?
#NUM!
#N/A

I like to count (A1:A100) how many formula are bearing each error.type...
this may enlighten me how to clean the list of formula bearing correct
results...
