So if I am looking at the same range for 4 different columns, i.e.
G4:G10/H4:H10/J4:J10, and K4:K10 do I need to use individual "COUNTIFS" and
add together? The D4:D10 column is the person responsible so the CR must
also be associated with the row before it should be counted.

The arrays need to be of equal sizes, you are using D4:D10 which is 1x1
column with
G4:H10 which is 2x1 and so is J4:K10

=COUNTIFS(G$4:H$10,"0",D$4:D$10,"CR")+COUNTIFS(J$ 4:K$10,"0",D$4:D$10,"CR")

Above is my formula based on your advice. I get a "#Value!" when I input
this. What am I doing wrong?

Just some thoughts (applies in my xl03) ..

.. can I use the COUNTIF for a range of columns
Sure, eg like this: =COUNTIF(M:N,A1)

And if its discontiguous, simply use 2 COUNTIF, eg:
=COUNTIF(M:N,A1)+COUNTIF(P:Q,A1)

New to EXCEL 2007. If I have a 5 column section where each column has
a
different responsiblity or grouping of responsiblites, can I use the
COUNTIF
for a range of columns and not just a range of rows? For example an
LS-I and
LS-II are responsible for colum m,n,p,and Q. LS-II and Closer are
responsible for column O. I need to count the number of exceptions for
the
LS-I individually, the LS-II indivdually and the Closer. Can anyone
help me?

Thanks.
