Default Easy One!

I have this formula:

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"sup")

I want the sum of a few other acronyms as well. How can I retrieve the sum
of several different acronyms within the same data range? Help!!!

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"sup")+COUNTIF(A1:A10,"pus")
Would enable you to count specific entries
Counta only tells you if there is an entry in a range i.e. non blank cells
