I am creating a spreadsheet for another survey's results. The survey is ten questions with letters A - F as the answers. Each letter corresponds to a different result in a different location on the spreadsheet. What I want to do is count the corresponding letter selected. For example, if the letter A is selected three times, the number 3 needs to appear in the results cell.

This is my setup: There are 6 people who will be taking this survey ( 5 plus me). Each person is a row and each question is a column. Column A row 2-6, and 8 are the survey takers. Columns B-K are answer locations for the ten questions. Rows 11 -16 are the total results of each letter. (i.e., row 11 is A, row 12 is B, etc. through F.

Thank you in advance.

If that is not what you have & want then perhaps you can show us with the following?

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data that will allow us to copy/paste it to our Excel spreadsheets, so we can work with the same copy of data that you are. Instructions on using this tool can be found here: XL2BB Add-in

Note that there is also a "Test Here” forum on this board. This is a place where you can test using this tool (or any other posting techniques that you want to test) before trying to use those tools in your actual posts.
