I like that one Peo. Do you mind if I add that to the examples on the
SUMPRODUCT page?

One way

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A1:A100,{"P";"HP"}),{1;0.5})

where your P/HP days are in A1:A100

I would like to use the countif function to count a letter a a half ".5"
instead of as a whole "1." The application that it would be used for is
on a
payroll workbook. i.e. "P" would eaqul a whole personal day whereas a
"HP"
would be a half of a personal day. From there I would like to add all
of the
"P's" and "HP's" in one Cell. this would be like 4.5 days used compared
with
4 days used (P,P,P,P, HP)=4.5
Thanks,
