Default function help for counting text as a value....

I have a schedule spreadsheet. i have 7 names in column A starting at row 4

the assignments are in Column B through O representing 2 weeks. (yes i have
them labeled too in rows 2 and 3 for day of the week and the date)

i can't remember the formula for calculating the assignment as a value of 12.

here is an example of my spreadsheet.

Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat Sun Mon Tues Wed Thurs Fri Sat
17-Jan 18-Jan 19-Jan 20-Jan 21-Jan 22-Jan 23-Jan 24-Jan 25-Jan 26-Jan 27-Jan 28-Jan 29-Jan 30-Jan
Theresa AJ D AJ D OFF AJ D AJ D AJ D AJ D OFF OFF AJ D AJ D AJ D AJ D AJ D

Lawahid AJ T AJ T AJ T AJ T AJ T OFF OFF AJ T AJ T AJ T AJ T AJ T OFF OFF
Amanda VA D VA D AJ D OFF OFF VA D VA D VA D AJ D VA D VA D VA D VA D OFF
David AJ N VA N VA N VA N VA N OFF VA N VA N VA N AJ N VA N OFF VA N VA N
Mike VA N OFF VA D VA D VA D VA N OFF AJ D VA D VA N AJ N VA N OFF VA D


now without counting on fingers and toes i can see that Mike is working 11
shifts . What function can I use to show that he would be working 132 hours
in this 2 week period?

If you are getting the 11 by counting the number of cells which have
something other than "OFF", and you then want to multiply the 11 by 12, then
perhaps
=(COUNTA(B9:AA9)-COUNTIF(B9:AA9,"OFF"))*12
Change the range references as appropriate.
