I would like to use the CountIf statement but applied to a set of separated
cells, rather then a range.

like countif((a1;a3;a5;a7);1).

However I get a 'value' error on this.

Anythoughts?

Not possible, you need to use either multiple countifs, or if your
cells always are a1, a3, a5 and so on (every other cell) you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A150=1);--(MOD(ROW(A1:A150);2)=1))

will count 1 in a1, a3, a5, a7 etc

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(A1:A10),2)<0),--(A1:A10=1))

This will count only odd numbered rows in the range A1 thru A10 that have a
value of 1.

Thanks a lot to both of you.
Bit of a bummer really, as the cells I need to 'countif' are not needly and
evenly distributed.

Lets see if I can be creative with your solution though...

Thanks again!
