I need to count all the columns in a range with these conditions: if
they contain entries; and are the entries only 'n' values.

'y'= goal met 'n'=goal not met

.........................................john..... .sues......mary.....jack
improved attendance..............y............n............ .........n
increased time in
class............y............y................... ..n
grade/course
completion.......................n................ ........

I want the formula to come back as =1 because only jack has these
goals, and he did not achieve these goals.

In order to chart this i would also need a formula that tells me how
many students had goals in their column (not how many goals, or the
result, just if they had any goals).

Thanks!!!
keith

Hi
If it is possible, try inserting a blank row above your range, you can
hide that row later. Now lets say that your range starts in column A
row 5, in your blank row starting on the second column (in your example
above John) put this formula:
=IF(AND(COUNTIF(B5:B7,"n")0,COUNTIF(B5:B7,"n")=CO UNTA(B5:B7)),1,0)
and copy across, to get the number of columns simply sum the row you
inserted.

P.S. you will need to ajust the formula for your range.....B5:B7
