example, in cell Z6.... I want to "countif" the following cells C6, F6,
I6..... How do I do that?

What do yoiu want to count? Numbers or textstrings?
If numbers there is a solution

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LARGE((B1:B4,D1:E4,G1:G4),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNT(B1:B4,D1:E4,G1:G4))))>5))

will count cells greater than 5, you can also name the non continguous cells
and use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LARGE(MyRange,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&COUNT(MyRange))))>5))

Peo,

I want to count "y's" in these cells (I want to assign a value of 1 to a "Y"
response). So in the cells I am having people fill in either Y or N and I
want to be able to convert the Y to a 1 and add it up. The problem is that
the cells I am tabulating are non continguous....

Thanks for your input,

Steve

Hi,

You may want to use the DCOUNTA function. Please refer to the help menu for
this function. It is well explained there

If it involves every third in say B6:Y6...

Z6:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(B6:Y6)-ROW(B6)+0,3)=0),--(B6:Y6="y"))

would count "y" in B6:Y6 in the relevant cells.
