I am not sure if this solution should be one or two formulas but I am ok with two.
I have a small spead sheet 17 column, each column has 3 list.
The list are numbers and X. I would like to count the numbers and the X. given 2 different total.
Can someone help please.
an example spreadsheet attached with the expected results may help here - see the yellow banner at top of page

I am not good at excel. I cant seem to copy the page because all those numbers is calculated from a different page. I will do it this way. The first column has 3 entry from top to bottom 3,x,1. Second column 6,x,x. Third column 9,8,7. That goes on for 17 column from seft to right.
Hope this helps.
=COUNT( A1:Q20)
Will count the numbers in the range of 17 columns A to Q and 20 rows
=COUNTIF( A1:Q20 , "X" ) will count the X's in that range
see attached , if i have understood
Ok The countif formula works but the first one do not work. I get 0 for that
Hi there.
A picture is worth 1,000 words. An Excel sheet is worth 1,000 non-editable pictures.
Please read the yellow banner about sample worksheets, at the top of the screen. Act on its guidelines and post a SMALL sample sheet complete with an explanation and some expected results.

As Glenn stated a sample spreadsheet would help - If count() returned 0 , then they are not numbers
then perhaps
=COUNTIF(A1:Q20,"<>"&"X")
so we count anything thats NOT an X
But will include blank cells
to ignore blank cells
=COUNTIFS(A1:Q20,"<>"&"X",A1:Q20,"<>")
see attached sample

=sumproduct(--($a$1:$c$3="x"))
=sumproduct(--isnumber(--$a$1:$c$3))
Ok I manage to get a picture.
What I am trying to do is to find a formula that will count the X and another formula that will count the numbers in the bottom part of this sheet. I gave a sample in an excel file. Dont worry about anything else just the bottom part.
The formula =COUNTIF( A1:Q20 , "X" ) works fine for the X part , now all I need not is to count the cells that has the numbers.
Hope that helps.

You are going to need to explain what on Earth is meant to be going on there!
