Counting Enteries

[pigsfoot]

Hi, I have a speadsheet that works out results on races. Each race has it's own colum and result for each person in each race.

Where a single person didn't enter the race it automatically gives them a score of 35.

What i am trying to acheive is to create a new colum that works out how many races each person has entered.

So basically if there are 10 races in total and 3 of them have a score of 35 i need a formula that work out total races enteres is 7.

I have tried different ways of doing this but i'm really having a hard time getting it right.

Can anyone help.

Thanks.
