I am creating a holiday planner.  I want to total each row as follows:

 

If cell contains H count as 1

If cell contains HD count as 0.5

I'd really like to put thin into a single formula if that's possible. My spreadsheet is attached.

 

As a simple example if I have H in A1 and HD in B1 then I want C1 to show 1.5

Hi Louise

e.g. in cell AN12 you can write

=COUNTIF(C12:AM12,"H")+(COUNTIF(C12:AM12,"HD")/2)

Hope this helps.

Sunny

You also have ´BH´ in some cells. Don´t they have to count as well?

Just for information (it's probably not worth it for only two combinations), you could also use a construction like this:

=SUM(COUNTIF(E4:AI4,{"H","HD"})/{1,2})
