Help with Countif

[Adam]

I have a few thousand rows Of data, each row has 1-7 outputs in the adjacent
columns. There are 27 different types of outputs. Lets just say A- Z, the
maximum amount of outputs for any row is 7. Some only have A, some have, A,
B and C and so forth. Each output is in its own column.

Basically, i need to a count of all this data, but heres the catch. I need
to do counts like this, if a row contains A. B, C and X then count. If a row
contains A E Y G then count.

I have 8 different things that need to be tallied, and they all have
specific definitions from the 27 possible outputs that are in the columns.

I hope that this makes sense, and thanks in advance for helping me!!

Hi Adam,
When you give examples of criteria, (eg A, B, C, X) you don't say if this
criteria is exclusive. ie, Do you want to countif A, B, C, G, M, X? or does
the G and M disqualify the entry?

Hey Dave, thanks for the reply.

In order for it to COUNT, then it would have to contain A B C and X, its ok
if they contain M and and G. Also.

Hi Adam,
After asking a startlingly intelligent question, I've realised I don't know
how to do what you want. Sorry. Hopefully one of the MVP's will elaborate.
