Default COUNT

this function I dont care about the column they are in just how many
X's there are.


Kudos for providing a concise example. But it would have been helpful if
you told us Xs you would count for 200948: 3 (all Xs), or just 2 (number of
rows with one or more Xs).

As clear as you might think your description is, you'd be surprised how many
times people describe their requirements clearly incorrectly ;-).

If you would count 3 Xs for 200948, then:

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:F5="x")*(A2:A5=200948))

If you would count 2 Xs for 200948, then:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("B"&ROW(2:6)&":F"&ROW(2:6)),"x") 0) *
(A2:A6=200948))

For example I want to know how many X's I have for 200948. For this
function I dont care about the column they are in just how many X's there
are. My sheet is much larger than the one below but it is a sample. I
understand I will have to have a new function per pln_s_yrwk. Any help
would be great!!
