I know this is a basic question. Could you tell me how to use the sum function to add up how many of the letter A appear in a column. Example colum A reads: cell A1 is "A", cell A2 is "C", cell A3 is "D", and so forth. I need to sum each apprearing character (A-D for my spreadsheet) for each of 125 columns, quickly.

@teitei papa, you are also asking for a lot of spam attacks posting your email address in a public forum :eek: best ask a Moderator to remove it.
