Counting the ones, twos and threes - Please Help
 

I have been reading for some time and cannot find what I thought would be an
easy one! I need to COUNTIF or SUMPRODUCT and find how many instances of 1
appears in any number in any cell. Then, I need to do the same for the
numberals 2 and 3. Please, can someone help. I expect to be using A1 through
U1 only.
Thanks!

=COUNTIF(A1:U1,1)

or maybe you want

=SUMPRODUCT(LEN(A1:U1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:U1,1,"")))

the latter will count 3 ones if one cell look like 2111

So would 11 count as 2 or 1?
