Default Adding letters instead of numbers

I was curious if you could add how many "A" there were in a range.

i.e. If a1:a25 had an "A" in each cell, then how do you insert a function to
eaual 25?

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,"a")

Change the range as needed

Hi

If "A" is the only letter in the cell:

=CountIf(A1:A25,"A")

Regards,
