COUNTIF?
 

I am attempting to count the number of "X" in non adjacent cells, but have
had no success so far.

I have recurring table for 12 people being surveyed, so that I am looking to
count how many
people have certain experience which the X signifies.

Using the insert formula I get this:

=COUNTIF(C12,I12,O12,U12,AM12,AS12,AY12,BE12,BK12, BQ12,"X")

The error is "too many functions"

Can anyone assist please, on modifying my formula (or identifying a
different formula?) to clear
the error?

Many thanks,
Malcolm

Try...

=countif(12:12,"X")

OR give the cells a defined name and use...

=countif(ThisExperience,"X")

...and for another range of cells...

=countif(ThatExperience,"X")

...and so on.

Hi Malcom,

if there are only x in these columns you can use the formula from Garry.
If there are also x in the other columns the should not be count then
try:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(C12:BQ12),6)=3),--(C12:BQ12="x"))
