=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A10,{"y","n"}))

Hi

Assuming you column heading is in A1, paste this in an empty cell

=COUNTIF(A2:A5,"Y")+COUNTIF(A2:A5,"N")

Hi Ferde

Assuming Header rows are in row 1, and data in a2:c5

To Count just the "Y"'s use =COUNTIF(A2:A5,"Y") in A6 and drag across
to C6

To Count just the "N"'s use =COUNTIF(A2:A5,"N") in A6 and drag across
to C6

And to count both use =COUNTIF(A2:A5,"Y")+COUNTIF(A2:A5,"N") in A6 and
drag across to C6


Change ranges to suit your data


Hope this helps

Paul
