SumIf
I am creating a holiday card for staff in the office and wanted to know if
there is a sumif function for adding up the number of times a specific letter appears in a row. I have created a calendar using the names of staff (on the vertical) and the dates (on the horizontal) and now need to put in a function that will allow me to collect the number of "H" characters (holidays) for each row. been at it all morning but I am missing a bracket or a comma somewhere..... |

Hi,
Because they are letters you would count them and not sum them so you can use COUNTIF =COUNTIF(A1:J1,"H") Change the range and drag down as required. -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
