Countif in non-consecutive cells

How can I do a countif in non-consecutive cells over a series of rows,
like evens and odds?. I tried this:
=COUNTIF($C$1:$Z$1:$C$3:$Z$3:$C$5:$Z$5:$C$7:$Z$7:$C$9:$Z$9:$C$11:$Z$11:$C$13:$Z$13,"1")
but it counts everything on the even rows as well.

Thanks to all.

=SUMPRODUCT((MOD(ROW(C1:Z13),2)=1)*(C1:Z13=1))

Bob,
Looks good. Now, what if your Countif criteria is text? I tried
inserting a "D" in place of both or either of the 1's below and got
something screwy.

Thanks again,

Hi!

Try this:

Is your criteria, "1", TEXT or NUMERIC?

Enclosing it in quotes " " makes it TEXT. A numeric 1 and a text 1 are not
the same.

=SUMPRODUCT((MOD(ROW(C1:Z13)-ROW(C1),2)=0)*(C1:Z13=1))

Not both, just the latter

=SUMPRODUCT((MOD(ROW(C1:Z13),2)=1)*(C1:Z13="D1"))
