Description: Counts the number of cells within a specified range that meet the criteria you specify.
Syntax: COUNTIF(Range, Criteria)
Range is the range of cells from which you want to count cells.
Criteria is the criteria in the form of a number, expression, cell reference, or text that defines which cells will be counted. For example, Criteria can be expressed as 32, "32", ">32", "apples", or B4.
Remarks:
The software provides additional functions that can be used to analyze your data based on a condition. For example, to calculate a sum based on a string of text or a number within a range, use the SUMIF function. To have a formula return one of two values based on a condition, such as a sales bonus based on a specified sales amount, use the IF function.
Example:
Suppose A2:A5 contain "apples", "oranges", "peaches", "apples", respectively:
COUNTIF(A2:A5, "apples") = 2 [number of cells with apples]
Suppose B2:B5 contain 32, 54, 75, 86, respectively:
COUNTIF(B2:B5, ">55") = 2 [number of cells with a value greater than 55]
