IF SUPPOSE THESE ARE MY VALUES IN A SINGLE ROW.
P N/A P \ P B D \ \ P

NOW I WANT TO CALCULATE ALL THE
NUMBER OF P'S
NUMBER OF B'S ETC

HOW DO I CALCULATE THIS ?

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS

=countif(1:1,"P")
will count the number of P's in row 1

HI Dave
I Need to count the number of p's and put in the result in one cell
So if i have an row like the following one

P n/a P B P F \
P B F

i have 4 P's here .

so i need a formula for this one because i cannot count as i have 1000
values in each row and have 57 rows of this kind .

So is there any formula which gives me all the number of P's in the
whole row

=countif(1:1,"P")
will count the number of P's in row 1

=countif(a1:x1,"p")
will count then number of p's in A1:X1

I don't understand your followup question, though.

If you meant that the data you posted is all in a single cell, say in A1,
you could try this in B1:
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"P",""))
to get the count of the "P" in A1

Copy B1 down as required

Hi,

You can combine the two answers you already have to check multiple how many
times the letter P appears in a set of cells, such as 3 times in A1, 4 times
in B1 and so on with the following formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((LEN(1:1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(1:1,"p",""))))
