Counting in Excel

B

bcollie

I know nearly nothing about Excel syntax, so please be kind.

I have a list of people who are eating at a seminar. So far I hav
some blank cells, some N for no, some Y for yes. I want to count the
cells to get the number of people eating.

I have =count(b5:b100,Y) which does not work. I have the format a
general if that helps any.

Please don't laugh at my syntax. :) Thanks for your help
