You did say ROW, right?

For an *entire* row, say Row5:

=Countif(5:5,"x")

For a range of cells within Row5:

=Countif(C5:Y5,"x")

I have a spreadsheet with the letter x in various cells. I want to count the
number of x's in a particular row of cells. What formula do I use and how do
I structure the formula?

Thank you!
