Counting Values non-numerical in rows

Copper Contributor

Hi! So I am fairly new to excel and I am working on a project in which the only data we really use are single alphabetical letters such as "R" and "W". I need to know the amount of times that these letters occur in each row in order to calculate averages. 

 

Basically, I am inquiring if there is a way to view the number of times these certain letters occur per row in order to easier calculate these averages without having to manually go through and count the number of times a letter occurs in a row. Any and all help will be appreciated as this project would require me to manually go through around 200 rows! Thanks in advance!

- Do you want to count ALL non-numeric values in each row or only those = R or = W?
- If R or W only, do you want 2 separate counts or the total of both?
Hi! Only those that = R or W, and 2 separate counts
