Work schedule development question

[Guest]

I am responsible for developing a work schedule for my employees. There are
approximately 25 employees. Each name is listed in a different coulmn. The
date of the month is listed in seperate rows across the top of the page. The
employees either work 8, 10 or 13 hours. I created a seperate coulmn at the
bottom of each row for each shift 8, 10 & 13 hours. Is there a way that I
can setup up the spreadsheet so that the number of 8, 10 or 13 hour employees
are automatically updated at the bottom to show me how many of each I have
working on a given day when I enter them into their individual coulmns for
each day?

Thanks for your help!

i think you are trying to confuse us.I honestly think you have rows and
columns reveresed.
Amyway assuming there is an 8 10 or 13 entered in each persons row for each
column(day) then in each row a t the bottom corresponding to an 8 10 or 13
hor shift a simple countif(A1:A25,"8") for 8 etc

Paul,

Thank you very much. Yes I was clearly wrong about coulmns and rows. One
more question if its not too much to ask. Occasionally a person who works 10
hours for the daytime will also be the same person that is doing a full 24
hour shift so he or she is listed as a "24" instead of a "10" on the
schedule. Is there anyway I can get the "24" to be counted along with the
"10's" at the bottom of the page where all of the other "10's" are added?

Thanks again.

do you want the 24 counted as a 10 or shown as a seperate total in the 10 cell?
either way in the 10 cell have this formula to show 24 shift seperately
=COUNTIF($C$7:$C$16,"10")&" 10hr &"&COUNTIF(C7:C16,"24")&" 24hr"
this will display say 12 10hr & 2 24hr
or
=COUNTIF($C$7:$C$16,"10")+COUNTIF(C7:C16,"24")
will display 14

I want the 24 counted as a if it were a 10. I used the following formula:
=countif(A1:A25,10)+countif(A1:A25,24) which worked.
