I want to count the occurrence of certain letters in a range of cells. In my attachment I need the sum of how many times the letters "C,M,Y,K" occur in the range A2:D2.

How about a simple:
=COUNTIF(A2:D2,"*Y*")+COUNTIF(A2:D2,"*C*")+COUNTIF(A2:D2,"*M*")+COUNTIF(A2:D2,"*K*")

Always put your code between code tags. [CODE] your code here [/CODE]
?None of us is as good as all of us? - Ray Kroc
?Actually, I *am* a rocket scientist.? - JB (little ones count!)
The below:
=SUM(COUNTIF(A2:D2,{"*C*","*M*","*K*","*Y*"}))
Is the same as JB's only using an inline array constant & SUM - ie saves you have to write out the COUNTIF multiple times.
