If the values in D4 through G4 = "1B" or "2B" or "3B" or "SS" or "P" or
"C",
then count the number of instances of those values and place the result in
J4.

example:
D4 through I4 = "CF", "1B", "SS", "P"
The formula should return a value of 3 because 1B, SS, and P each appears
once.

Thanks for your help.

Bob
