One more time please, my head is spinning from the COUNTIF posts. I did not 
keep it straight.

If A1 contains as text "1801-05-19", can I do this in Cell AA1?
@countif(A1,"-")
and get 2 as a result? (I don't think so, I think the correct usage for 
COUNTIF is:

COUNTIF (A1:A6,"-") will tell me how many cells contain the "-", right?

I am looking for a method to the number of occurances of a character in one 
cell. For example if I have "Mattie Lee Bell" in A1, and I want to count 
how many "e"s there are, COUNTIF will not do the job for me, or will it?

Thank you.

Robert
