how do I give a letter a value then add them up in a column ie if T=1, I want
to add up all the T's in the column but nothing else

=SUMIF(A:A,"T")*1

Thge * 1 is superfluous in this case, but if the weight is something
different you need it.

Hi Bob

This still doesn't seem to work. Is it because I have other numerical
figure in the column whic form another autosum?

Sorry, it should be

=COUNTIF(A:A,"T")*1
