    Need COUNT of how many rows have value 'X' in column A

    I just need the quickest and most simple way to finding how many rows in my worksheet contain a value of 'X' in column A.

    The first row of the worksheet contains column names. Column A is called "SpecialFlag". Most of the rows are "normal" and contain NULL (or an empty string) in Column A.

    I need to know simply how many rows are marked with SpecialFlag = "X".

    How about...

    =COUNTIF(A:A,"X")

    I found the reputation icon and clicked on it for you. That is all. Hopefully, I can find how to mark this closed/answered.

    Re: Need COUNT of how many rows have value 'X' in column A

    How would you do the countif with multiple values, say that you have 50 thousand rows, the cells have a mix of numbers ranged from 1-6 in those rows. How would I do a count on the rows with the values of 1 showing and then 2 showing and then 3 showing, etc. Can the formula =COUNTIF(A:A,"X")
    be used for multiples on the criteria?
