What is COUNTIF?

COUNTIF is an Excel function that counts how many cells in a range meet a specific condition.

Syntax: =COUNTIF(range, criteria)

  • range: The cells to count
  • criteria: The condition to check

Practical Examples

Count values greater than 100

=COUNTIF(A1:A10, ">100")

Counts how many cells in A1:A10 contain values greater than 100

Count cells containing specific text

=COUNTIF(B1:B100, "Completed")

Counts how many cells contain exactly "Completed"

Count non-empty cells

=COUNTIF(C1:C50, "<>")

Counts cells that are not empty

Common Mistakes

Incorrect criteria format

Always use quotes for text criteria and comparison operators: ">100" not >100
