Default COUNTIF limitations, alternatives?

I'm entering the results of a survey into Excel. The answer to one of the
questions was a number from 1-6. I entered all the data, then used COUNTIF
to tell me how many respondents entered 1, how many 2, how many 3, etc.

Now I'm getting the next survey coming back, almost the same results, but
respondents are allowed to tick multiple boxes. So someone may enter 1 and 4
and 6 to the same question!

Can I enter something like 1,4,6 in the same column and still get a
breakdown of how many respondents ticked each number? I don't think COUNTIF
can handle this.

TIA

Steve
