How to use Excel COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria
The tutorial explains how to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF formulas with multiple criteria in Excel based on AND as well as OR logic. You will find a number of examples for different data types - numbers, dates, text, wildcard characters, non-blank cells and more.
Of all Excel functions, COUNTIFS and COUNTIF are probably most often mixed up because they look very much alike and both are purposed for counting cells based on the specified criteria.
The difference is that COUNTIF is designed for counting cells with a single condition in one range, whereas COUNTIFS can evaluate different criteria in the same or in different ranges. The aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate different approaches and help you choose the most efficient formula for each particular task.
Excel COUNTIFS function - syntax and usage
The Excel COUNTIFS function counts cells across multiple ranges based on one or several conditions. The function is available in Excel 2019, 2016, 2013, Excel 2010, and Excel 2007, so you can use the below examples in any Excel version.
COUNTIFS syntax
The syntax of the COUNTIFS function is as follows:
- criteria_range1 (required) - defines the first range to which the first condition (criteria1) shall be applied.
- criteria1 (required) - sets the condition in the form of a number, cell reference, text string, expression or another Excel function. The criteria defines which cells shall be counted and can be expressed as 10, "<=32", A6, "sweets".
- [criteria_range2, criteria2]… (optional) - these are additional ranges and their associated criteria. You can specify up to 127 range/criteria pairs in your formulas.
In fact, you don't have to remember the syntax of the COUNTIF function by heart. Microsoft Excel will display the function's arguments as soon as you start typing; the argument you are entering at the moment is highlighted in bold.
Excel COUNTIFS - things to remember!
- You can use the COUNTIFS function in Excel to count cells in a single range with a single condition as well as in multiple ranges with multiple conditions. If the latter, only those cells that meet all of the specified conditions are counted.
- Each additional range must have the same number of rows and columns as the first range (criteria_range1 argument).
- Both contiguous and non-contiguous ranges are allowed.
- If the criteria is a reference to an empty cell, the COUNTIFS function treats it as a zero value (0).
- You can use the wildcard characters in criteria - asterisk (*) and question mark (?). See this example for full details.
How to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria in Excel
Below you will find a number of formula examples that demonstrate how to use the COUNTIFS and COUNTIF functions in Excel to evaluate multiple conditions.
How to count cells with multiple criteria (AND logic)
This scenario is the easiest one, since the COUNTIFS function in Excel is designed to count only those cells for which all of the specified conditions are TRUE. We call it the AND logic, because Excel's AND function works this way.
Formula 1. COUNTIFS formula with multiple criteria
Suppose you have a product list like shown in the screenshot below. You want to get a count of items that are in stock (value in column B is greater than 0) but have not been sold yet (value is column C is equal to 0).
The task can be accomplished by using this formula:
=COUNTIFS(B2:B7,">0", C2:C7,"=0")
And the count is 2 ("Cherries" and "Lemons"):
Formula 2. COUNTIFS formula with the same criteria
When you want to count items with identical criteria, you still need to supply each criteria_range / criteria pair individually.
For example, here's the right formula to count items that have 0 both in column B and column C:
=COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$7,"=0", $C$2:$C$7,"=0")
This COUNTIFS formula returns 1 because only "Grapes" have "0" value in both columns.
Using a simpler formula with a single criteria_range like COUNTIFS(B2:C7,"=0") would yield a different result - the total count of cells in the range B2:C7 containing a zero (which is 4 in this example).
How to count cells with multiple criteria (OR logic)
As you have seen in the above examples, counting cells that meet all of the specified criteria is easy because the COUNTIFS function is designed to work this way.
But what if you want to count cells for which at least one of the specified conditions is TRUE, i.e. based on the OR logic? Overall, there are two ways to do this - by adding up several COUNTIF formulas or using a SUM COUNTIFS formula with an array constant.
Formula 1. Add up two or more COUNTIF or COUNITFS formulas
In the table below, supposing you want to count orders with the "Cancelled" and "Pending" status. To have it doen, you can simply write 2 regular Countif formulas and add up the results:
=COUNTIF($C$2:$C$11,"Cancelled") + COUNTIF($C$2:$C$11,"Pending")
In case each of the functions is supposed to evaluate more than one condition, use COUNTIFS instead of COUNTIF. For example, to get the count of "Cancelled" and "Pending" orders for "Apples" use this formula:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $C$2:$C$11,"Cancelled") + COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $C$2:$C$11,"Pending")
Formula 2. SUM COUNTIFS with an array constant
In situations when you have to evaluate a lot of criteria, the above approach is not the best way to go because your formula would grow too big in size. To perform the same calculations in a more compact formula, list all of your criteria in an array constant, and supply that array to the criteria argument of the COUNTIFS function. To get the total count, embed COUNTIFS inside the SUM function, like this:
In our sample table, to count orders with the status "Cancelled" or "Pending" or "In transit", the formula would go as follows:
=SUM(COUNTIFS($C$2:$C$11, {"cancelled", "pending", "in transit"}))
In a similar manner, you can count cells based on two or more criteria_range / criteria pairs. For instance, to get the number of "Apples" orders that are "Cancelled" or "Pending" or "In transit", use this formula:
=SUM(COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11,"apples",$C$2:$C$11,{"cancelled","pending","in transit"}))
You can find a few more ways to count cells with OR logic in this tutorial: Excel COUNTIF and COUNTIFS with OR conditions.
How to count numbers between 2 specified numbers
By and large, COUNTIFS formulas for numbers fall into 2 categories - based on several conditions (explained in the above examples) and between the two values you specify. The latter can be accomplished in two ways - by using the COUNTIFS function or by subtracting one COUNTIF from another.
Formula 1. COUNTIFS to count cells between two numbers
To find out how many numbers between 5 and 10 (not including 5 and 10) are contained in cells C2 through C10, use this formula:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C10,">5", C2:C10,"<10")
To include 5 and 10 in the count, use the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" operators:
=COUNTIFS(B2:B10,">=5", B2:B10,"<=10")
Formula 2. COUNTIF formulas to count numbers between X and Y
The same result can be achieved by subtracting one Countif formula from another. The first one counts how many numbers are greater than the lower bound value (5 in this example). The second formula returns the count of numbers that are greater than the upper bound value (10 in this case). The difference between the first and second number is the result you are looking for.
- =COUNTIF(C2:C10,">5")-COUNTIF(C2:C10,">=10") - counts how many numbers greater than 5 and less than 10 are in the range C2:C10. This formula will return the same count as shown in the screenshot above.
- =COUNTIF(C2:C10, ">=5")-COUNTIF(C2:C10, ">10") - the formula counts how many numbers between 5 and 10 are in the range C2:C10, including 5 and 10.
How to use cell references in COUNTIFS formulas
When using logical operators such as ">", "<", "<=" or ">=" together with cell references in your Excel COUNTIFS formulas, remember to enclose the operator in "double quotes" and
add an ampersand (&) before a cell reference to construct a text string.
In a sample dataset below, let's count "Apples" orders with amount greater than $200. With criteria_range1 in cells A2:A11 and criteria_range2 in B2:B11, you can use this formula:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $B$2:$B$11, ">200")
Or, you can input your criteria values in certain cells, say F1 and F2, and reference those cells in your formula:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, $F$1, $B$2:$B$11, ">"&$F$2)
Please notice the use of absolute cell references both in the criteria and criteria_range arguments, which prevents the formula from being broken when copied to other cells.
For more information about the use of an ampersand in COUNTIF and COUNTIFS formulas, please see Excel COUNTIF - frequently asked questions.
How to use COUNTIFS with wildcard characters
In Excel COUNTIFS formulas, you can use the following wildcard characters:
- Question mark (?) - matches any single character, use it to count cells starting and/or ending with certain characters.
- Asterisk (*) - matches any sequence of characters, you use it to count cells containing a specified word or a character(s) as part of the cell's contents.
Now let's see how you can use a wildcard char in real-life COUNTIFS formulas in Excel. Suppose, you have a list of projects in column A. You wish to know how many projects are already assigned to someone, i.e. have any name in column B. And because we are learning how to use the COUNTIFS function with multiple criteria, let's add a second condition - the End Date in column D should also be set.
Here is the formula that works a treat:
=COUNTIFS(B2:B10,"*",D2:D10,"<>"&""))
Please note, you cannot use a wildcard character in the 2nd criteria because you have dates rather that text values in column D. That is why, you use the criteria that finds non-blank cells: "<>"&""
COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria for dates
The COUNTIFS and COUNTIF formulas you use for dates are very much similar to the above formulas for numbers.
Example 1. Count dates in a specific date range
To count the dates that fall in a certain date range, you can also use either a COUNTIFS formula with two criteria or a combination of two COUNTIF functions.
For example, the following formulas count the number of dates in cells C2 through C10 that fall between 1-Jun-2014 and 7-Jun-2014, inclusive:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, ">=6/1/2014", C2:C9, "<=6/7/2014")
=COUNTIF(C2:C9, ">=6/1/2014") - COUNTIF(C2:C9, ">6/7/2014")
Example 2. Count dates with multiple conditions
In the same manner, you can use a COUNTIFS formula to count the number of dates in different columns that meet 2 or more conditions. For instance, the below formula will find out how many products were purchased after the 20th of May and delivered after the 1st of June:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, ">5/1/2014", D2:D9, ">6/7/2014")
Example 3. Count dates with multiple conditions based on the current date
You can use Excel's TODAY() function in combination with COUNTIF to count dates based on the current date.
For example, the following COUNTIF formula with two ranges and two criteria will tell you how many products have already been purchased but not delivered yet.
=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, "<"&TODAY(), D2:D9, ">"&TODAY())
This formula allows for many possible variations. For instance, you can tweak it to count how many products were purchased more than a week ago and are not delivered yet:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, "<="&TODAY()-7, D2:D9, ">"&TODAY())
This is how you count cells with multiple criteria in Excel. I hope you will find these examples helpful. Anyway, I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!

Hi how can a get a total count for every month thru out the year for example if a user has a yes or no value in a cell i want to get a total of all the yes in that year and show the month where the yes occured?
Hi,
I'm working on a spreadhseet that needs to show a value of business sold by each agent. sometimes 2 agents will share the business and therefore get 50% each toward target.
column A and B show which agents are responsible for the business and column C shows the value of the business. I'd like a formula in column D to show exact figure from column C if column B is empty, if column B contains any data then column D should show value from column C/2.
I'm struggling to make this work, any help would be much appreciated.
Any time you want to check something conditionally, you'll need to use the IF formulas. For your example: =IF(ISBLANK(B3),C3/2,C3)

I have a spreadsheet I am trying to use data validation I have an items list, each item has a specific max discount. I have used vlookup to link the data from the list to autopopulate when I type a specific item number. I need to be able to type a percentage up to the max allowed for the item. How do i set up a formula that only allows up to that max discount for the item listed on the invoice. If over that discount I need an error message. Thankyou for your help.

I'm trying to count the number of times a specific item ships within a specified month (column B contains the ship dates and column C contains the items). How can I do a COUNTIFS formula where one criteria is the ship month and the other criteria is the item. All the "countifs with dates" explanations I've seen only ever explain how to use the formula with ONLY dates but not with dates and another criteria. Is it even possible? (also my spread sheet has empty cells in between some dates. I've seen elsewhere that that can mess with the counting function when dates are involved)
i.e. SHIP ITEM
Thursday, January 23, 2020 Solenoid
Thursday, January 23, 2020 Sensor
Tuesday, January 28, 2020 Sensor
Monday, February 3, 2020 Electromagnet
Monday, February 3, 2020 Solenoid
So basically, I need a formula that can tell me that 2 sensors ship in January.
I have a file with say 100 records . Each record has 20 numeric cells with a number (1 thru 80) eg 2 5 6 17 20 28 30 33 42 50 54 55 60 69 70 71 72 73 75 80 each in its own cell. Note that the record contains 6 20 33 55 . I want to filter all records in the 100 records that contain 6 20 33 and 55. My records have record numbers eg ( 23456) and a cell stamped with N or Y. Format: Each of the 100 records --- File Number, , Y/N. I actually have 50,000 records. I did this once 5 years ago and cant remember how. Thank you Ken Dupont

Hi!
I'm working on compiling data into three different scenarios. I need to do the following:
1) identify if the institutions have the same ID
2) if they have the same ID, then I need to identify if they have 1 of 3 criteria, 2 of 3 criteria, or 3 of 3 criteria
I tried using IF & COUNTIF but it's not working the way I intended
I'm trying to figure out what a COUNTIF formula means on a sheet I didn't create. The Range is text rather than specifying a cell range and I can't figure out what data that range is connected to. The formula is =COUNTIF(Round 2,AC$4) and I can't figure out what "Round_2" connects to. There is another sheet within workbook with a cell named "Round 2" but the data there doesn't seem to be applying to this formula.

I have a spreadsheet where cells contain answers to a multi-response question. Cells can contain any combination of responses from A - J. I need a way to count the number of cells that contain (for example) A, C, or E. If a cell contains more than one of these, I don't want it to be counted twice. For example:
Cell 1: A, B, D
Cell 2: A, C, E
Cell 3: B, D, E
Cell 4: B, D, G, J
The total count of cells that contain A, C, OR E is 3. Using the OR formula above, we would get a total of 5, as the count for A is 2, the count for C is 1, and the count for E is 2. Is there any way to do this?
Hello MLC!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(A1:A16,{"*A*";"*C*";"*E*"}))-SUM(COUNTIFS(A1:A16,{"*A*C*";"*C*E*";"*A*E*"}))
This is an array formula and it needs to be entered via Ctrl + Shift + Enter, not just Enter.

Hello Jason!
If I understand your task correctly, maybe the following formula should work for you:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(Database!G2:G10000>=$G$2), --(Database!G2:G10000>=$F$2), --(Database!M2:M9359="Matt Elkin"))
Hope this is what you need.

Hello Tara!
If I understand your task correctly, maybe the following formula should work for you:

= VLOOKUP (D1, A1: B10,2,1)
You can learn more about approximate match in VLOOKUP in this article on our blog.
Hope you’ll find this information helpful.
Hi. I have created an attendance spreadsheet with a drop down list allowing multiple selections of: A, B, C, D, E, NP. If NP is selected nothing needs to happen as the client was Not Present. The other options will demonstrate what activities the clients participated in if they did attend A, E, D or A, B, C, etc. I need another cell to calculate all dates client attended and has choices from A-E as 2.
Ex: on 12/29 the client attended and participated in 3 activities, on 12/30 client participated in 1 and 12/31 client participated in 2. I need each of these cells to equate to 2- so the total should be 6 units. It should not matter what activates the client is participating in, but if they attend that should equal 2 units for the day. I need this to be able to equate no matter what order the drop down items are placed.
So with this example the total should be 6
12/28 12/29 12/30 12/31 TOTAL
B,D,E D B,C 4
Sorry that example did not come through formatted.
I have a spreadsheet that has three columns I am working with...Column C that has Dates Sampled, Column H that has Quantity, and Column K that has Aggregate type. I need to have a formula that will give the Quantity of X aggregates for each quarter by using the dates sampled to determine the quarters. Is this something I will be able to do with the CountIf function? TIA
Hello Katelyn!
If I understand your task correctly, please try the following formula:
=COUNTIFS(C2:C32,">="&DATE(2020,1,1),C2:C32,"<"&DATE(2020,4,1),K2:K32,"AAA") I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
I have Count like COUNTIF((C4,F4,I4,L4),">0"), result are not find.
please help.
Hello Ashok,
Please try the following formula:
=COUNTIF(C4,">0")+COUNTIF(F4,">0")+COUNTIF(I4,">0")+COUNTIF(L4,">0")
Range can only be contiguous cells.
Hi,
Please can you help!
I am creating a reporting sheet in excel for different information from throughout the workbook.
I would like to create a formula that can tell me how many times the word "Late" appeared within in a month. The data will be pulled from another sheet to the reporting sheet.
My date column is B date 24/04/2020 and Late column is F.
Thank you for any advice.
Hi Rachel,
You may use the array function below to count the number of values on several sheets:
=SUM(IFERROR(COUNTIFS(INDIRECT("'"&$E$2:$E$32&"'!F:F"),A3, INDIRECT("'"&$E$2:$E$32&"'!B:B")," >="&DATE(YEAR(A4),MONTH(A4),1), INDIRECT("'"&$E$2:$E$32&"'!B:B")," <="&EOMONTH(A4,0)),0))
Where A3 is the criterion to search values by (in your case, it is Late);
F:F is the searching range on each sheet;
A4 states for the date you conduct the search by. Note! The dates you apply the formula to should be of the same month as the one in A4;
B:B is the dates range on each sheet;
$E$2:$E$32 - the list of the sheets to make the search in.
Since the formula above is the array function, please don't forget to use the Cthr+Shift+Enter combination to apply it.
Hope it'll help you with your task.
Hi there,
I am trying to combine these formulas so that both criteria must be true for it to be counted however as my ranges are different sizes this is problematic, is there a way to combine these?
=COUNTIF('Volunteer Call Handler Form APRIL'!Q:V,"XXXXXXX - recent") COUNTIF('Volunteer Call Handler Form APRIL'!G:G,"Inbound"))
Thanks, Tilly
Hello Tilly!
If both conditions must be fulfilled, unfortunately, the sizes of the ranges for each of them must be the same.
Hi,
I am trying to count, for example the number of occurrences of a particular text , say "SP", in a row from column c to column dd - OK so far. But now I want to only count the occurrences in the row where the date in column A = today(). The table has multiple (consecutive) dates in column A. Is it possible to do this with a formula? Maybe countif with offset and match somehow? Thanks for looking.
Hello Steve!
Use the paragraph in this guide above "Count cells with multiple criteria (AND logic)". One of the conditions is A1 = TODAY ()
Alexander, Thanks for your help.
I am trying to put a formula in a single cell which will, each day, count up occurrences of eg. "Y" and show the total - not once per row, but just a single cell, showing just the current days completeness (="Y"). I have tried =COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$21, "="& "Today()",$C$1:$N$21, "="& "Y") but this gives #Value! as result. Any further ideas? Cheers. Sample data follows:
04-May EL EL EL EL EL EL
05-May SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y
06-May EL y EL y EL y EL y EL y EL y
07-May LR y LR y LR y LR y LR y LR y
08-May SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y SJ Y
09-May LR Y LR Y LR Y LR Y LR Y LR Y
10-May EL Y EL Y EL Y EL Y EL Y EL Y
11-May SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ
12-May LR LR LR LR LR LR
13-May EL EL EL EL EL EL
14-May SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ
15-May LR LR LR LR LR LR
16-May EL EL EL EL EL EL
17-May SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ
18-May LR LR LR LR LR LR
19-May EL EL EL EL EL EL
20-May SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ SJ
21-May LR LR LR LR LR LR
Cracked it. Thanks for your inspiration Alexander. Here is what I used …
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("C" & 3+MATCH(TODAY(),A4:A31)):INDIRECT("DD" & 3+MATCH(TODAY(),A4:A31)),"Y")
Hello Steve!
The data ranges that you use in the COUNTIFS function must be the same in size. That is, if the first is 1 column, then the second is also 1 column. And you have a second range - 12 columns.
Please try the following formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(($A$1:$A$21)=TODAY()), (C1:C21="Y")+(D1:D21="Y")+(E1:E21="Y"))
Add it yourself to column N.
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Hi!!
Thank you so much for your help. I am trying to do a COUNTIFS with multiple criteria. I tried using SUM(COUNTIFS and it did work in the beg but now I need to add more criteria. What I am pretty much trying to do is to put the following formula into ONE - the first part searches for MPS[Warehouse] "AAA" and the second for "BBB".
=SUM(COUNTIFS(MPS[Work Ticket Status], {"NEW","MRD","PRD","PIC","PUR"}, MPS[Warehouse], {"AAA"}, MPS[NEW Production Start Date], ">=5/1/2020", MPS[NEW Production Start Date], "<"&TODAY(),MPS[NEW Production Start Date], "=5/1/2020", MPS[NEW Production Start Date], "<"&TODAY(),MPS[NEW Production Start Date], "<=5/30/2020"))
- BECAUSE the next thing I need to do is to use this formula to count the ones that are NOT "AAA" or "BBB" and that is the real problem begin! (In fact I have more than just 2 warehouses, this was just an example).
Hello Francesca!
You can use something like this formula.
=SUM(COUNTIFS(A19:A25,{"NEW","MPD","PRD","PIC","PUR"}, B19:B25,{"AAA","BBB"}, C19:C25,">=5/1/2020", C19:C25,"< "&TODAY(), C19:C25,"<=5/30/2020")) There is an error in your formula. Conditions MPS [NEW Production Start Date], “> = 5/1/2020”
and
MPS [NEW Production Start Date], "= 5/1/2020”
contradict each other.
It will be executed only
MPS [NEW Production Start Date], "= 5/1/2020”.
Condition
MPS [NEW Production Start Date], “<" & TODAY () repeated twice. I hope this will help, otherwise please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.
1) the only thing I see differently would be the range? Because my problem is that I do not have a specific range, the query is large and I need to use the entire column as new items might be added. and it was a typo, it was supposed to be >5/31 thanks for the letting me know. 2)What I am having trouble is with the multiple item types {"NEW", "PUR", "PIC" etc}. The formula is not reading all of them, I guess a need a OR? 3)And In case I DO NOT want those warehouses, the "" is not working for me.
THANK YOU!!!
Hello Francesca!
If you want to use the entire column, just change the link to A: A. But the speed of calculations will decrease significantly.
The COUNTIFS function cannot use AND or OR operators as arguments.
If the formula does not consider any element in your table, check how it is written. There may be spaces or some other characters.
Indicate for comparison only the values that are necessary.

Hi,
I'm doing a race night and want to write the names of all the people who have placed a bet in one cell. In another column I then want to count number of the names in the first cell.
Eg. (Tom,Dick,Harry) count = 3
Is there a formula that could do this please?
Hello
If the names in the cell are separated by commas, then the count of names can be calculated using the formula -
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1
I hope it’ll be helpful.

Hi, I have a spreadsheet which has multiple dates in it, as well as multiple locations. It is for commencement of employees and tracking of probations.
There is a column for locations, as well as a column for programmed start date, actual start date, programmed completion date and actual completion date. I am tracking to identify one month late and three months late for both start and finish for all four locations. The current formula I am trying is: =COUNTIFS(Table4[OPU],"Cq",Table4[Probation Start Due Date],(DAYS(Table4[Probation Start Due Date],Table4[Probation Commenced]>30))), however it is not identifying any data. I would really appreciate some help.. cheers, Jo

Hi
I'm trying to set up spreadsheet for my darts team that records players' stats.I record their averages, high score and number of scores between set criteria, (ie, total number of scores below 19, 20-39, 40-59, etc.)

Ive got the syntax working for a single column
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,"*Mon*" & "*Jan*",$D:$D,1)
which gives me Mon, Jan, Employee 1
now I want to do
=COUNTIFS($C:$C,"*Mon*" & "*Jan*",
Mon, Jan, employee 2
$D:$E,1)
so Im now looking in two columns D:E for employee 2, but the syntax wont work. Any help please
Hello Susan!
You can use the COUNTIFS function. But уach additional range must have the same number of rows and columns as the criteria_range1 argument. The ranges do not have to be adjacent to each other. Read about it here.
Hi, how to add any number to existing countif function. By automatically like countif(c1:g1,c82+2)
Hi,I'm trying to use countifs statement to add 3 certain elements of a table if all are present.
My formula is =COUNTIFS(O24:O31,U24,P24:P31,AA36,J24:J30,AA36)
O23:O31 holds Yes/No
P24:P31 holds a number value
J24:J30 holds a number value
I'm happy with the ranges and the criteria are set values.
The formula works if you have any two elements i.e O24:O31 and J24:J30 or J24:J30 and P24:P30 however once i add the third element it does work.
any help would be appreciated
Hi,
I want to count how many times the value = "yes" in column F on data sheet.
this is fine, however, I want this to be date dependent criteria.
Count how many times "yes" appears within a date range specified on reporting sheet, G8 (start date) & J8 (end date).
The corresponding date for "Yes" column is in "g3" on the data sheet.
I currently have:
COUNTIFS(Data!F3:F68, "Yes") + COUNTIFS(Data!G3:G61,">="&Reporting!G8,Data!G3:G61,"<="&Reporting!J8)
But this is counting how many times "yes" appears AND how many times the date appears which is duplicating my data.
Thank you, Hope that makes sense!
My queson is to display the last entered number position and that will automatically change the value in another cell.
If suppose, in a column Sr.No. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 now the last no. is 7 if I enter 8,9,10,...the another which is having the reference will catch the latest entry inthis case 10 and update his cell value.

Hi
I have a data set where in row 2 I have headings of "Squad", "Mins", "Goals", "Assists" and these repeat several times across the row. I'm trying to find a formula which counts the number cells under any of the "Mins" columns which are greater than 0, but only when the number in the "Squad" column is greater than 11.
I can do a simple count of the first part (=COUNTIFS($N$2:$KG$2,"Mins",N41:KG41,">0") however I am unsure how to add the second part to only count this IF $N$2:$KG$2,"Squad",N41:KG41,">11".
Have you got any thoughts about how I can add this IF element? I have tried a few combinations but the best i get is a #VALUE! error. Any help much appreciated.
Hi,
Can you provide your help regarding a specific formula:
I want to do a calculation in which I want to exclude character which lies in a sequence.
For example. I have 10 numbers: 1, 3, 5, 10, 2000, 2001, 2002, 3052, 3053, 3054.
Now, I want to count 1 and ignore 3, 5, 10 mean to ignore the up to 10 number in consective orders. Similiartly I want to count just 2001 and 3052 and want to ignore other number from counting. I have to do this calculation in up to 100K.
If you provide your help I will be very thankful.
Best

Hello
I have a table of data, on column of which is either ***, ** or * depending on the prioritisation of that row. If I now want to do a countifs function, how would I insert a condition that a row has *** for that specific criteria? I tried using a tilde, " " but cant get it right
Thanks!
Adam
Hello Adam!
To count the number of "***" values, add a tilde before each *
=COUNTIFS(K1:K40,"~*~*~*")
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Hi Alexander
Thanks - that works perfectly!
Adam
Hello,
I am in need of assistance locating the right formula for my workbook.
in sheet1-I have a list of names, with a current fourmula " =COUNTIF('Element Core'!A2:A500,'Agent Assignment'!D41)" to capture how much data from each tab they are assigned too.
In sheet2-Shows the actual amount of cells each agent has been assigned to in column A, i would like to somehow divide the completed task in column B of sheet 2 to the total number they have been assigned to in sheet 1.
example
agent Name - # of cells Assigned too(from sheet 2)
Tom Jerry - 40
I would like to divide 40 by what the agent has already completed in sheet2 on column B.
Thank you.
Hello!
If I understand correctly, then you just need to divide the values from column A by the values from column B. I suppose that the number of completed tasks can be calculated with approximately the same formula as the number of assigned tasks. But there is no information in your question about this.
Please describe your problem in more detail. It’ll help me understand it better and find a solution for you.
In a range, is there any formula where i can pick
how many 1s, how many 2s, how many 3s etc... in one step
Hello!
The number of values that match a condition can be calculated using the COUNTIF function (read here).
I am trying to count the new number of impacted individuals for today (prefer, workdays), I also have a number of other criteria. This is the current formula I use to use to count the total number =COUNTIFS(AN2,"=*?*",P2,"=No",D2,"=Reserve"). I would like a way to count only the new ones added today. I have a entry date column in J2.
Thanks in advance
Hello!
Unfortunately, without seeing your data it hard to give you advice.
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=COUNTIFS(AN:AN,”=*?*”,P:P,”=No”,D:D,”=Reserve”,J:J,TODAY())
Excellent Example
I have to calculate attendance for 5 periods in different sheets. Using countif how can i calculate attendance
Hello!
You need to use the COUNTIFS function for each sheet and then sum the 5 results. In doing so, you can use external references to sheets. COUNTIFS does not work with 3D links.

Hello!
Pay attention to the following paragraph of the article above COUNTIFS formula with multiple criteria.
=COUNTIFS(B:B,B1,C:C,C1,F:F,F1)
I hope it’ll be helpful.
I have three sheets
Sheet 1
Sheet 2
Sheet 3
I need to count values from Sheet 2 while matching criteria's from Sheet 1 & 2 both.
I want to get these results on sheet 3.
Since this record is for entire month for around 900 names.
Please help & suggest why am I not able to get the results if using countifs formula.
SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIFS(Roster!J5:J444,Sheet1!A1,Roster!K5:K444,Sheet1!B1,Attendance!S5:S444,"P"))
Why am I not able to get the count on sheet 1 with this formula.
Please help me out with this
Hello!
The COUNTIFS function works with data from different sheets. Unfortunately, without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice.

It’ll help me understand it better and find a solution for you.
I am trying to develop an Excel formula to obtain a count.
If an ID number appears multiple times in one column and the result “received” appears in a different column, what is the formula to count only 1 instance of the occurrence of the ID and “received”?
For example:
Column Column
F J
5596326 attempted
5596326 delivered
5596326 received
5596326 received
5596326 sent
5596326 Wrong Number
The ID number appears 6 times in column F, and “received” appears twice in column J. With a correct formula, the result should be 1.
What is the formula? And please specify the row ranges in the formula.
Both columns may contain 1,000 or more rows.
Thank you for any assistance.
The response that you sent to me earlier in the day was =IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,"received")>0,1,""). I do know just how to specify the ranges in this formula. When I attempted it various ways =IF(COUNTIFS(F2:F309,F2,J2:J309,"received")>0,1,"") no error resulted ,but then no count appeared. The count should be 1.

I'm trying to do countif to get results from different cells not ranges.
A1 table
A2 chair
A3 table
A4 leg
I basically need countif (A1,A3, "table") but that doesn't work.
I've tried this indirect formula but it still doesn't work =SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"a1:a1","a3:a3"}),"table"))
Any ideas?
Hello!
The COUNTIF function can only work with one range. Therefore your formula is not possible. Try

Assuming I have a table with two columns J and K with entries of rows either, row1 ,(J=No,K= Yes), row2(J=yes,K=No), row 3 (J=Yes,K=Yes) ROW 4, (J=No,K=No), row5 ,(J=No,K= Yes), row6 (J=yes,K=No), row 7 (J=Yes,K=Yes) ROW 8, (J=No,K=No),...onwards for different documents.
Whenever a No appears on either column J or K or both columns it should be termed error. What formula can I use to help me analyze a large data with the above scenarios. Analysis can be done on another sheet.
Hello!
If I got you right, the formula below will help you with your task:
=IF((COUNTIF(J:J,"No") + COUNTIF(K:K,"No"))>0,"Error","Ok")
I hope my advice will help you solve your task.
this has been helpful
Is it possible to take this a step further and incorporate date range to this?
Each sheet contains a column with a date that something was completed...column R
The criteria in each sheet needed to be counted is column T
In a new "summary" sheet is where calculations would occur using "SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT"
In this "summary" sheet, column "A" contains the dates representing a week where the specific criteria occurred.
Columns Row 1 in column B, C and D have the criteria needing to be counted based during the week listed in column A.
Unfortunately limited in formatting in the forum
Column A
Row 1 Week Of
Row 2 11/15/2020
Row 3 11/22/2020
Row 4 11/29/2020
Column B
Row 1 "Missed"
Row 2 5
Row 3 12
Row 4 11
Column C
Row 1 "Caught"
Row 2 7
Row 3 11
Row 4 13
Column D
Row 1 "Disconnect"
Row 2 11
Row 3 1
Row 4 5
I hope this makes sense. I have been unsuccessful in getting anything to work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not sure I fully understand what you mean. Describe the logic behind your calculations. What do you want to count? Why B1 = 1? Please specify what you were trying to find, what formula you used and what problem or error occurred.

Hi, I am trying to set up a spreadsheet to check whether colleagues are completing specific tasks (that are recorded on a different spreadsheet), at least once within each 28 day period and to count how many of the task they did within the period. The best way I can think of it to to pull the count for each date and then have a separate tab that then works off that count to be certain the colleague is competent over the year. But I'm struggling to get the correct formula. What I need is: the count if column M on spreadsheet A is equal to cell A2 on spreadsheet B AND the date within column Q on spreadsheet A is equal to B1 on spreadsheet B - spreadsheet A being the one that contains the original data and spreadsheet B being the new one I am setting up

Use Case: Get count of multiple criteria from different columns
Criteria1: =COUNTIFS('Sales Report'!$G:$G,"Damy Dams",'Sales Report'!$H:$H,"Nov",'Sales Report'!$I:$I,{"Movies","Music"}),
Criteria 2: 'Sales Report'!$E:$E, {"Offline","Onsite","Podcast"})
My formula returned the count for Criteria 1 BUT does not return the count for Criteria 2
How can I combine all into one statement?
For example: =SUM(Criteria1,Criteria2)
AND NOT
=SUM(Criteria1+ SUM(COUNTIFS(Criteria2)…. this gives a much higher count value and is not the requirement.
Hello!
Use the formula for Criteria2
=SUM(COUNTIFS('Sales Report'!$E:$E, {“Offline”;”Onsite”;”Podcast”}))
I hope it’ll be helpful.
Hi,
I have data that shows me how many times different projects pass or fail, but I want to count how may times a project fails on different days, i.e. not to count it twice if it failed twice on the same day. See simplified data below; I want to return Project 101 as 'Failing' 3 times, i.e. on 3 days, not 4 individual occasions.
A B C
Date Project Result
01 Jan 101 Fail
01 Jan 101 Fail
02 Jan 102 Fail
02 Jan 101 Fail
03 Jan 101 Pass
03 Jan 101 Fail
04 Jan 103 Pass
Thanks in advance

Hello!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=IFERROR(ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER($A$1:$A$8, $B$1:$B$8=$D$1))), 0)
where $D$1=101.
You can learn more about count unique values with criteria in this article.

how to use countif for one date range (mont and year only) and specific text
Hello!
I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. Could you please describe it in more detail? What result do you want to get? Give an example of the source data and the expected result.
=COUNTIFS('C.O MONITORING'!X8:X992,"MOIA",'C.O MONITORING'!AE8:AE992,"BELLA")
this is my old formula. counting the number of contracts executed by a certain person "Bella"

Hi,
I’m sorry but your task is not entirely clear to me. For me to be able to help you better, please describe your task in more detail. Please specify what you were trying to find, what formula you used and what problem or error occurred.
Hi,
I am trying to use countifs using OR logic to find the number of bacterial strains with my gene of interest.
The formula I'm using is:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(BB:BB,("*"&BO3&"*", "*"&BP3&"*", "*"&BQ3&"*") BO3, BP3 and BQ3 are all text cells
The data range is filled with lines of text corresponding to all genes that are present for that sample, I am interested in knowing how many samples contain gene x, or gene y, or gene z.
My issue here is that only the cell BO3 is highlighted as an actual reference cell in the formula, any of the other cells I try to reference after the first one (Ie BP3 and BQ3) does not show up as a referenced cell.
It would appear that the formula only lets you have one wildcard, while all other criteria have to be exact matches? I hope this isn't the case and I'm just confused.
Thank you in advance.
Hello!
Without seeing your data it is difficult to give you any advice. You spelled the COUNTIFS formula incorrectly. For each criteria, you need to specify criteria_range:
COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…)
I think you should use the COUNTIF function as described in this section above.
I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.

Hi! Very useful article. I'm struggling with figuring out a formula.
I've got two sheets: the first with raw data, the second with a summary table I'm trying to configure.
Here's a screenshot of the summary table sheet: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2xpyrccqrgmpqe8/Capture%20d%E2%80%99%C3%A9cran%2C%20le%202021-02-05%20%C3%A0%2016.43.41.png?dl=0

I'm trying to use COUNTIF to count the number of entries that match the following:
Data!A:A must match Summary!A7 (Grade
Data!B:D must match Summary!B7 (Grade)
Data!J must be between C3 and C4 (Date Range)
I can't seem to figure it out for the life of me. I've tried SUM COUNTIFS with multiple criteria and data ranges to no avail. Any help/insight would be much appreciated!
Hello!
If I understand your task correctly, the following formula should work for you:
=COUNTIFS(J:J,">"&$C$2,J:J," < "&$C$3,A:A,A7,B:B,B7) + COUNTIFS(J:J,">"&$C$2,J:J," < "&$C$3,A:A,A7,C:C,B7) + COUNTIFS(J:J,">"&$C$2,J:J," < "&$C$3,A:A,A7,D:D,B7)
In this formula, correct the cell references to match your data and worksheet names. I cannot verify its work, since I do not have your data. To understand this formula, I recommend this article: Excel COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple AND / OR criteria
I hope I answered your question. If something is still unclear, please feel free to ask.
It worked! Thanks Alexander!
I was stumped with trying to match data across 3 columns, but your solution nailed it by simply adding them up. Thanks so much.

Hello,

How would I count the number of "Mike" in column B when the date in C equals the date in D?

Hope this is what you need.
Hello Alexander,
Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I don't get the desired result, but a "value not available error".
So what I'm trying to do:
On sheet 1 I have information on deliveries. (suppliers (column N), promise dates(column G), actual delivery dates(column H), and many more)
On sheet 2 I have listed all suppliers(column A) and added a column(B) with a formula which counts the number of times a supplier made a delivery =COUNTIF(Sheet1!$A$2:$P$268;A2)
Now I want to add a column(C) which only counts the times this supplier actually delivered on the promise date.(Sheet 1, G=H)
With your help I tried below formula, which returns a "value not available error".
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$A$2:$N$268="A2")*(--((Sheet1!$G$2:$G$268:Sheet1!$H$2:$H$268))))
Based on above information, is there a formula which can calculate this without adding columns to sheet 1?
Kind regards,
Mitchell
Hello!
I wrote this formula based on the description you provided in your original comment. Please note that if you’d provided me with the precise and detailed description of your task from the very beginning, I’d have created a different formula that would have worked for your case.
=SUMPRODUCT((Sheet1!$N$2:$N$268=A2)*(--(Sheet1!$G$2:$G$268=Sheet1!$H$2:$H$268)))
I hope this will help
Hello Alexander,
Works like a charm :D
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
Thanks for this article. My problem now is it doesn’t count when one cell has the same text, especially two names of the same person.
The text goes like this:
G2:G10 = James
G11:G20 = James Pattinson
Formula:
=(COUNTIFS(F:F, $K$5, G:G,{"James", "James Pattinson"},D:D,"Done"))
The formula refuses to count cells that have the same first keyword. Please advise on how to solve this.
Paul
Hello!
I believe the following formula will help you solve your task:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(F:F, $K$5, G:G,{“James”, “James Pattinson”},D:D,”Done”))
or
=COUNTIFS(F:F, $K$5, G:G,“James”&"*",D:D,”Done”)
I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

I wanna count how many Gus, Jess, Mike has a Solved or Closed Status from Greendot in to one cell. when i have the formula below the error #spill! shows..
=COUNTIFS(C:C, {"Gus","Jess,"Mike"}, B:B, "Greendot", A:A, "Solved")+COUNTIFS(C:C, {"Gus","Jess","Mike"}, B:B, "Greendot", A:A, "Closed")
please help i'm very confused
i figured out the formula
=COUNTIFS(C:C, "Gus", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Solved")+COUNTIFS(C:C, "Gus", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Closed")+COUNTIFS(C:C, "Jess", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Solved")+COUNTIFS(C:C, "Jess", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Closed")+COUNTIFS(C:C, "Mike", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Solved")+COUNTIFS(C:C, "Mike", B:B, Greendot, A:A, "Closed")
but honestly is there no way to shorten this formula?
Hi!
The formula below will do the trick for you:
=SUM(COUNTIFS(C:C, {"Gus","Mike","Jess"}, B:B, "Greendot", A:A, {"Solved";"Closed"}))
