Count specific text for weekdays and weekends separately.

[Mozzieman]

Hi there,

Complete noob here. I am looking for some help with creating a formula for counting the amount of cells that are populated with the letter, "o" and dividing it up into a count for weekdays and weekends.

Please see image attached to this post.

So, I have cells which represent the days of the year. I then have some cells that are populated with the letter "o". I am trying create a formula to work out how I can count them so that the weekends are counted separately from the weekdays for each row. So for example: In the image, the result for the bottom row will be 5 weekdays and 2 for the weekend.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Thank you so much, Forestview. That did the trick and I learnt something new.

Sorry for off-topic interjection:

Although there is no official rule regarding this behaviour, we request that wherever possible both the question AND the answer be provided in substantive detail here within the thread. An attached workbook is an excellent aid for posing a question and offering a solution, but solely doing that with no in thread explanation makes it difficult for researchers to understand or consider the Q & A of this thread without downloading what may be a pointless doc to them, if they can do that at all. Doing that also hides the content from search engines so others may never benefit from this.

Hi AliGW

Aah will correct going forward

Counting the week days =SUMPRODUCT((A3:N3="o")*($A$2:$N$2<>"s"))
Counting the Weekend Days =SUMPRODUCT((A3:N3="o")*($A$2:$N$2="s"))

Adjust formulas according to where you need them to apply.
