using COUNTIF; but not with a series

Paul.

What a really useful answer that is!

Marilyn.

Countif works on a RANGE of cells, so, if your cells are scattered about a
worksheet there is nothing you can do.

Well, not quite true.

You could test each cell in turn using the IF statement

or

set yourself a range of cells elsewhere in your worksheet and reference the
cells you want to countif, for example:

Cells F1000 to F1005 might have the following entries in

=A1
=B9
=C88
=E4
=F65

All you need to do then is in your required cell =Countif(F1000:F1005,"P")

Hope this helps you.
