Help with IF function

[JKA]

I'm trying to work on a payroll spreadsheet and have setup columns with Mon
through Fri and rows with employees name. For each day by employee I will
enter the hrs worked or a letter if there is something other than hours
worked (a "V" for vacation, for example). I have a column at the end that
totals hours worked, vacation hours, and holiday hours. I have setup an IF
statement that if a "V" is entered on any day it will automatically put 8
hours in the vacation column. The problem I am having is that if 2 vacation
days are used, I can't get 16 hours to come up (or 24 hours for 3 days
vacation, etc.). I've included an example below what it looks like:

M T W T F Hrs Worked Vac Hrs
Jane Doe 8 8 8 8 V 32 8
This works!

John Doe V V 8 8 8 24 8
Vac hrs should be 16!

My IF statement is
=IF(C6="v",8,IF(D6="v",8,IF(E6="v",8,IF(F6="v",8,IF(G6="v",8,"")))))

I cannot figure out how to add two or more V's together (in 8 hour
increments) to accurately reflect the vacation days.

Use
=Countif(C6:G6,"V")*8

Hi,

Since the standard work hours for the week are 32, you can also do

32-H6
