Not sure why you need another column, but you could use
=IF(A1="y",1,0)
or the equivalent
=--(A1="y")
(where -- is two minuses together)
To count the number of y's:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"y")
If you're trying to count both y's and n's in the same column, use
=IF(OR(A1="y",A1="n"),1,0)
or
=IF(A1<>"",1,0)
or their equivalent
=(A1="y")+(A1="n") and =--(A1<>"")
To count y's and n's in the same column.
=COUNTIF(A:A,"y")+COUNTIF(A:A,"n")
