It would help immensely if you had posted your formula for us to evaluate.
Without it, my best guess would be that your formula currently looks
something like:
=COUNTIF($1:$1,"My value")

when it should be:
=COUNTIF(1:1,"My value")

I am trying to use the countif function by rows and it is not calculationg
correctly. I try to drag the formula down and it just repeats the same
value
as the origin cell. Is there some type of malfunction with tis function?
