Default COUNTIF not working w/ cells result of SUM and VLOOKUP

I have a column which I am trying to get the number of occurrances of "9" for
example. The "9" is a formula of two functions 1) VLOOKUP in another column
and 2) SUM of various VLOOKUP columns. I can't get COUNTIF to work on either
of these columns. I think it doesn't like SUM because it is a result of
VLOOKUP columns.

=SUM(G51+J51+L51+N51+P51)/5 this is a result of various similar formulas

=VLOOKUP(O51,$V$7:$W$18,2)

Shouldn't you post the formula that didn't work?

When you say COUNTIF doesn't work, what results do you get? And your COUNTIF
formula is ..?

The fact the a value is derived from a formula shouldn't make any
difference? Do you always have valid values in the column(s) you are checking?

Sorry--here's the formula.
=COUNTIF('OPRS Conv Tracker'!Q51:Q200,9)
Which refers to the SUM formula mentioned which that refers to the VLOOKUP.
Even when I've changed it so it doesn't reference a another worksheet, it
still doesn't work.

When you say it is not working, do you mean you get an unexpected result or
do you get an error message?
