Grammar
using "any"
I'm a little confused about "any".
Can we use "any" in the questions and in the declaritive sentences only with plural and uncountable with meaning "it doesn't matter which" or with any noun?
Thank in advance.

One book tells me that: "any in meaning "not important which" can be used with plural and uncountable " (Murphy)
another one says:"with singular and uncountable"
the third claims: "with all nouns (in meaning = not important which)".
