I have five columns of text containing state abbreviations. I need to count the number of times (out of 5) each abbreviation occurs in the row and show the result for each state in a separate column (i.e. State 1, State 2, State 3,...). Any help will be greatly appreciated. I have attached an example and included a list of the state abbreviations.

Do you mean this?
Not quite. I need it to count just across rows. Each row is a different person and I need to know how many days out of the five that they were in a particular state. Thank you for the effort!
Try:
=LARGE(INDEX(COUNTIF($A2:$E2,$K$3:$K$52),0),COLUMNS($A$1:A$1))
copied across the 5 columns and down the list
To hide the 0's select the resultant range and format the cells as custom: 0;-0;;@
Where there is a will there are many ways.
