What do you mean by "calculate the letter p"? Insert that character into a
cell? Make it part of the formula result? Just display it without making it a
part of the data?

=COUNTIF(B2:B58,"p")

Change the reference to the range you want to count.

Rewrite the formula so instead of B2:B58, it refers to the cells you want.

Hi!

Assume you want to count "P's" on both Sheet1 and Sheet2.

The formula is in Sheet1:

=COUNTIF(Sheet2!A1:A10,"P")+COUNTIF(A1:A10,"P")

OR:

=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet2!A1:A10="P")+(A1:A10="P"))
