Having trouble getting the correct answer.
There are four rows containing the following data in the range of B5:T5.
x x - - x x - - - - - - - -
- - x - - x x - - - x - - -
This is what I've got in column V5 =COUNTIF(B5:T18,"x")
This is what I've got in column V7 =COUNTIF(B7:T20,"x")
The following is the result I'm getting.
x x - - x x - - - - - - - - 8
- - x - - x x - - - x - - - 4
The 8 should only be 4. What am I doing wrong?
Welcome to the forum!
I don't understand why you are using several rows in your arrays instead of just one.
Attach the workbook.

I will actually have several rows containing data. I just showed the first few. I just need to total the number of x's in each row.
Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.
Remember to desensitize the data.

I think I've attached my workbook.
If you just want the total for each row try
=COUNTIF(B5:T5,"x")
In V5,
=COUNTIF(B5:S5,"x")
copied down.
