    Hello tax112,

    Place this formula in cell N2 and drag it down to N6
    =COUNTIF($A2:$J2, "*" & $N$1 & "*")
    Place this Formula in N7
    =SUM($N2:$N6)
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.

    In my file
    Row(2: 2): Character "A" in cell A2, D2, E2, G2, only 1
    Row(3:3): Character "A" in cell B3, F3, only one .......

    Finally the total character "A" appears as 3
