=COUNTIF(A3:A6,"X")

Returns the correct # of Xs in that range.
How do I incorporate additional non-contiguous ranges into that formula
correctly, such as A3:A6,A9:A12,A15:A18?

Sincerely,
Arturo

In general, each would have to be handled separately, but if the intervening
cells would not contain an X, then you wouldn't need to exclude them to get
the count.

=Countif(A3:A6,"X")+Countif(A9:A12,"X")+Countif(A1 5:A18,"X")

A B C
1 S6 B2

I know how to use the countif function as if to count all values that equal
"S*" (value beginning with "S" only regardless of the following number) in a
row. Then tally, per row, the number of times "S*" appeared in the range.
The formula for "C1" would be: =countif(A1:B2,"S*") which right now would
return the value of 1. Now what I want to do is in addition to this formula,
I want "C1" to also calculate the countif portion and then multiply the
countif returned value by the second number in the stated cell. i.e. A1 =
S6, so "C1" has a value of "1", now mulitply the "1" by the second digit in
"A1" (which is 6). How would I go about this? Thanks.

If they are structured as you show, you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A3:A18="X"),--(MOD(INT(ROW(A3:A18)/3),2)=1))

That would work if the pattern were A3:A5,A9:A11,A15:A17, but unfortunately
it wasn't.

such as A3:A6,A9:A12,A15:A18?
