Hi
To count all occurrences of some number in range, like
18
22
180
....
, which contains three number 8's, you can use an array formula (entered
with Ctrl+Alt+Enter) like:
=SUM(LEN(A1:A100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A100;8;"")))

Use COUNTIF. For example, to count the no. of times 8
appears in columns A-C:
=COUNTIF(A:C,8)
Of course this only counts cells with 8. Cells such as 88
would be ignored.
