Function to count numbers of cells that has the value 'N'

Id like to have a cell that indicates the number of cells whos got Y / N, how do i do that? I normal the standard count function is =COUNTA(X:X), but id like to filter out numbers of different values accordingly

RE: Function to count numbers of cells that has the value 'N'

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for the forum question.


You can use a Countif function:

=Countif(X:X,"N")
