COUNTIFS not working

[tycasey17]

I am trying to count the number of M's listed in four sections of a sheet but it will only return the value of 0 no matter what I put in the cells. Does anyone know why it does this because it doesn't make sense.

Example:
=COUNTIFS(A1:C1,"M",A2:C2,"M")

try this =COUNTIFS(A1:C2,"=M")
