counting responses - please help
 

I have survey results in a table - 40 columns x 315 rows (people
surveyed)
I want to count the responses, e.g. Q #1 had 4 choices - S, L, H or W.
How many in column 1 answered "S"? How many "L"? Etc.

I have tried SumA, CountA, and DCountA and cannot derive a formula.
For instance =COUNTA(H3:H315,"H)") just returns the number of
responses in column H - not just the responses with "H" in the cells.

Please help !

Here is a sample column showing a few results:
S
[blank]
L
S
S
H
S
S
W
S

My formula would show for this segment: S had 6 responses, L had 1, W
had 1 and H had 1.

Never mind, Peo answered this in another thread - it's done with
CountIF(H1:H315,"H").

Thanks!
