Counting Help!!!

[AcTiVation]

As indicated below, I have a row in which "1's" are placed manually. I would like a formula that would sum the range from A1:F4, but give a value of 3 because there are only 3 rows to which "1's" are placed located in. I tried using the countif function, but that doesn't seem to help me much.

A B C D E F
1 0 1 1 0 0 0
2 0 1 0 1 0 0
3 0 0 0 0 0 0
4 0 1 0 1 0 0

Thanks in advanced,
cheers.
you can e-mail me directly @ lmashaud@bdp.ca

Howdy. Hate to over simplify the issue, but is it possible to sum the rows in g and then do a count if on the summed column for cells greater than zero?

E.g., in g1, =sum(a1:f1) and so on. In g6 =COUNTIF(G1:G5,">0")

Hope so. Cheers,

Nate

SUM row 1,2,3,and 4 in column G.

Then enter a =COUNTIF(G1:G4,">0").

Should give you an answer of 3.

{=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A1:F4,ROW(A1:A4)),ROW(A1:A4)),1))}

Note: This is an array formula which must be entered using the Control+Shift+Enter key combination. The outermost braces, { }, are not entered by you -- they're supplied by Excel in recognition of a properly entered array formula.
