Default finding and summing case-sensitive text

Hi all.

I need to create some formulas that count the number of a given,
case-sensitive letter within a long column. To be specific, I will need
formulas for finding the numbers of "a", "a1" (the 1 is coding for a
reversal), "A", "b", "B", "B1", etc. I wrote
(if(find("A",m1),1,0)+if(find("A",m2),1,0))+... but the FIND function, which
returns that pesky #VALUE! instead of a 0 for each cell in which the given
letter does not occur, messes up the summing process. Anyone have any
suggestions? Much obliged!
