    So mockup a sample workbook showing the need and your desired results, point out where the results came from if not obvious in your sample data.


    Then click GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to post up your workbook.

    If we assume

    A1:A4

    x
    2x
    x
    3x

    Then

    A5: =SUM(IF(A1:A4="x",1,LEN(REPT("x",SUBSTITUTE(A1:A4,"x","")))))
    committed with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER

    would return 7

    @DK if A4 isblank then formula will return error .....

    Should we use If(iserro(formula),0,formula) or there is a simple solution without executing formula twice ??

    A few options... one:

    =SUM(IF((A1:A4="x")+(A1:A4=""),1*(A1:A4="x"),LEN(REPT("x",SUBSTITUTE(A1:A4,"x","")))))
