Probably.
With more detail on what the "text symbols" are and what you want to do with them you could get a more definitive answer.

The problem is that I have a spread sheet that has months on left side giong
done and dates 1 thorugh 31 on top. Then I am placing a letter in the column for the type of abscenes an employee took. But it the total for the month across I want it to add 1 for each letter and come up with a total that can be subtracted from the orginal top total as for vacation. Can the letter per cell represent a number 1 to be added at the end of the column? "Gord Dibben" wrote: Probably.

you can use the formula =counta(B10:M10) in Cell N10
This will count only cells which are non-blank. "Debby" wrote: The problem is that I have a spread sheet that has months on left side giong done and dates 1 thorugh 31 on top.
