Question : MS Excel COUNTIF 3D

I need to perform a series of COUNTIF functions using  named 3D references for a MS Excel Spread sheet using Office 2004 for Mac OSX.  I understand that COUNTIF is unsupported by Excel for 3D references.  VB is a foreign language to me.

i.e. I would like to perform the following:

E.g., COUNTIF(HAND,"R")  
and COUNTIF(EYE,"R")
Etc.

Where:  HAND  = 'Subject 1:Subject n'!$B$18
and  EYE  = 'Subject 1:Subject n'!$B$19
Etc.

I understand there may be ad-ins, User defined functions or Macros than can solve this.  
A google search resulted in references to:

" COUNTIF.3D add-in at http://xcell05.free.fr/english/ :  but this download resulted in a WIndows executable that doen'st do me any good on my Mac (I do not have Windows installed)

" http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Office_Productivity/Office_Suites/MS_Office/Excel/Q_21649916.html:  However when I attempt to insert this solution code into the VBE editor most of it is displayed in red font (which I presume implies an error) and when I attempt to run it (using COUNTIF3D in place of COUNTIF in the above examples) results in a "Compile error: Expected: list separator or)"

Any help you can provide is appreciated.

Answer : MS Excel COUNTIF 3D

Use COUNTIF() on each worksheet and then separately SUM() all the COUNTIF() results. That will be by far th quickest solution to implement rather than writing a VBA routine to do the work.
