Default How do I count alpha codes in a range of cells in a row?

I have a spreadsheet that uses specific alpha codes to identify a situation.
I want to count each alpha code in a row and total the count in its own
column. For example: There are 4 alpha codes that could be used. In column
one I want the total count of all alpha code As, in column two I want the
total count of all alpha code Bs etc

Have yuo tried using the COUNTIF function:
eg. =COUNTIF(A:A,"A") to count As
=COUNTIF(A:A,"B") to count Bs

where A:A is the range of your data and "A" is the code you are searching
for...
