In Excel it was easy. I simply specified =COUNTIF(G8:X8;"*c*") and I got the number of cells that contained the letter c. I discovered in LibreOffice it was =COUNTIF(G8:X8;".*c.*") but in Openoffice whatever combination I try doesn't work.

That should work in OpenOffice. Go to Tools | Options... | OpenOffice Calc | Calculate and ensure that "Enable regular expressions in formulae" is ticked. (That's in Preferences under Mac OS.)

I trust this helps.
