If Statements

I have 2 cells with asterics in them, D11 and I11. I am trying to write a
forumla using if statement
=IF(D11="*",1,"")
How could I combine both cells to add them if they both have *?

Thanks

one way:

=COUNTIF(D11,"~*")+COUNTIF(I11,"~*")

Sorry I should have been more clear:

Col X should look at D and I and total the number of astericks. Col Y
should total the cells without astericks.

Thanks

Perhaps I'm dense, but I'm not understanding here...

Do you want to count asterisks in each row, columns D & I, putting the
result in column X of that row?

Or do you want to count all the asterisks in columns D & I and put that
in some cell in column X? If so, how many rows should be looked at for
the value that goes into the cell in column Y (i.e., cells without
asterisks)?

Yes, I want to count the number of asterisks in each row (of columns D & I)
and put the result in column X of that row. And if it has no asterisks count
the blanks and put the results in Col Y since the asterisks represents a type
of an employee.

Thanks

One way:

X1: =(D1="*")+(I1="*")
Y1: =2-X1

Select X1 and Y1 and copy down as far as necessary.
