I'm almost done with the 2009FSM site but having a few problems with formulas. I'm looking for someone that may have the answer to this question.

I want to calculate how may times a user has participated through out the season. Normally I do this by the 'COUNTIF' statement. But that only works if all the cells are in a continues row or column. My problem is they are spaced out every 4 cells in each row. Is there a way to calculate how many FS a user has participated when skipping rows using the 'COUNTIF' statement. Or are there another statement that would do the job?

Example of what I have been using =COUNTIF(A1:A12,>0,) but I will not work if I use =COUNTIF(A1,A4,A7,etc,>0,)

I need the formula to add up each time a user enters the a FS challenge by argument of >0 (>0 would mean they entered or =true). That way when dividing the users FS entry scores it would only divide by the months entered - giving a correct average.

Thanks in advance,
Scott

Could you use OR? =OR(A1>0,A4>0,A8>0) ETC. The result reads then as true I believe. Then you could use that true result to use a IF statement for another formula or the like.
