Assuming the range you are trying to count is from A1 to A25 use:

=COUNTA(A1:A25)

Office CP PROF - EXCEL
Have a spreadsheet with columns where "Y" is entered if
desired.
I need to count the number of "y" instances in a column.
Have worked the excel help but can't get it to work.
 
=COUNTIF(A:A,"y")

will count the whole column for Y.
if you want just a range, try

=COUNTIF(A1:A10,"y")
 
Michael I must point out that your count will count any instance of a non
empty cell, where Dave B. only wants to count "y"s.
