Default Counting Cells w/ a certain character in them?

=COUNTAIF(I8:AO8)*AQ8+AP8

If I want it to just count the cells with the letter X what do I need
to add to the formula. The cells with the X in them change day to day
and there are other letters in use in the field of cells so I know it
needs to be countaif but not how to make it count if it is an X

Thanks for the help
