count number of Simultaneous blanks

[rinks_84]

Hi I would Like to count the number of simultaneous blanks in a Row
For eg: I have 3 columns A B C.
Now I want to know the instances of
a) 3 blanks together
b) cells having text value U and T (among value of U ,T and H)

[Ace_XL]

a) 3 blanks together

=COUNTBLANK(A1:C1)=3
copied down

b) cells having text value U and T (among value of U ,T and H)

Please elaborate further. Perhaps a sample worksheet with desired results...

For b) I am getting false for every combination?

I will elaborate on the question further

3 Columns----Each cell can take values either U or T or H or remain Blank.

I want to count the number of instances where entire row is blank
number of instances where row has U in 1st column and T in 3rd column

hope that helps?
