Counting selected entries

[Adam]

I have a spreadsheet set up like a basic monthly
calandar. Each day (Mon - Sat) is represented by one cell
(e.g., week 1 would be cells B2 - G2; week 2 is B3 - G3,
with five possible weeks per month). The user is
restricted in each cell to selecting from a list a code
numbered 1 - 16 (each number 1 through 16 is a code
selected for that day)...

How can I list and add-up after each month the number of
times any/each number (1 through 16) was selected that
month? How can I I do the same and include previous month
totals?

(Once I do this, i should be able to link those numbers to
a separate workbook to maintain year-to-date totals, etc.,
right?)

All help is really appreciated! Thanks,

Adam

=countif($B$2:$G$6,1)
will count the number of cells in B2:G6 which contain 1.

=Countif($B$2:$G$11,1)



will count two months of data for value 1.

=Countif($B:$G,1)
will count the whole years data

Is it more complicated than that.
