Default Conditional formula or not?

I have a column that has X if attended class then I need a sum of the number
of students that attended on that column. What is the easiest way to do this
without having to use the number 1 for attendance? so, issue is sum any X in
a column and total at the bottom.

Thank you.

If x's are the only data in the column... you don't put anything if they did
not attend... then you can just count the cells that contain data:
=COUNTA(E2:E21)
