count letters as numbers

hi there, I have a s/sheet for tracking holidays and I would like to track sick days too. I want to put an S for sick day. I think there is a way to make the s=1 then count up any s that may be in that column.

I would be so pleased if someone can get back to me as I have tried everything.

thanks loads
Angie, from Scotland

Try something like:

=Countif(A:A,"S") where A is the column of interest. You can replace A:A with a definite range, like A1:A100, if desired.

the first formula counts all the completed items, the second part counts all the items in column A. It then deducts 8 for the 8 total averages.
i would like to know how i can create a formula that will pick up all the items that have the "total averages" automatically without me having to change it manually. Every time I add lines and new total averages are created I have to change it manually. I would love for the formula to pick up the cells with the total averages only please...................
there is a complete row.....A12, B12,C12, D13 all are the total averges..exp.....

=COUNTIF(B13:B2071,"Completed")/(COUNTA(C13:C406)-8)


i tried this one on the bottom and it gave me a total of 4 not 8? why???
there are 8 cells with the total avg. please help...


=COUNTIF(A1:A209,"Totals/Avg")





thank you,
cathy
