How can I use the COUNTIF formula on a group of specific cells?

[Guest]

I have a worksheet with Yes/No questions. I'm trying to recognize and count
each "x" in the Yes field for each specific question and it's not allowing me
to.

I can get it to add a range of cells, but not a group of specific cells.

Anyone know how to do this?


Thought it would look a little like this: =COUNTIF((B6,H6,I6,B21,H21,I21)"X")

Thanks for the help!

but not a group of specific cells.

EXACTLY which specific cells?

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"B6","H6","I6","B21","H21","I21"}),"X"))

And one more:
=(B6="x")+(H6="x")+(I6="x")+(B21="x")+(H21="x")+(I21="x")
