Default newbie question- how do I add up characters?

Hi, I have a spreadsheet, where I put a Y if the person turns up, and
O if they don't. so, for example, if Joe Bloggs doesn't turn up on the
1/05/08, on his row under the date, I put O. Now, over the months each
person in my group, has varous Y's and O's if he doesn't show up.
How can all the Y's or all the O's be added up, so giving me an idea
as to how many times Joe's turned up over the months/years?
