Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(D2:AC1000,A1:A7))

I have data in cells d2:ac1000. I have another table of items I am
looking for in a1:a7. For each row of my data, I'd like to know if
there's any matches to items in the table. I know I could sum a bunch of
Countifs, as in:

=countif(d2:ac1000,a1)+countif(d2:ac1000,a2)+...

Is there a simpler formula I could use that would support expansion of
the table more easily?

Thanks,
Fred.
