the spreadsheet i am working on has 1 column with 2 possible answers, i.e.
yes/no. what i need to do is separate the replies and then total the yes
replies in another cell and also total no replies in a different cell. How do
i do it?

The following COUNTIF function can be used
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$21,"yes")
The sort or data filter command can be used to separate the replies.

Hi,
if you want to see only the yes you can filter the column, th have the total
by yes or no, enter in a cell Yes, let's say in C1 and in C2 enter No, then
in D1 assuming that the yes or no are in column B starting in B2 enter

=COUNTIF(B2:B5000,"Yes")

in D2 to count the No enter

=COUNTIF(B2:B5000,"No")
