COUNTIF V/s COUNTIFS function
Excel COUNTIF function Excel COUNTIF function - count cells that meet one condition The COUNTIF function is purposed for counting cells that meet a certain criterion. Its syntax requires 2 arguments which are self explanatory. COUNTIF (range, criteria) In the first argument, you define a range where you want to count cells and in the second parameter, you specify a condition that should be met. For example, to count how many cells in range A2:A17 is "car", you use the following COUNTIF formula: =COUNTIF(A2:A17, "car") Instead if typing a criterion directly in the formula, you can input a cell reference as demonstrated in the following screenshot: Excel COUNTIFS function - count cells that match several criteria The COUNTIFS function is similar to COUNTIF but it allows specifying multiple ranges and multiple criteria. Its syntax is as follows: COUNTIFS (criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…) For example, to count how many "cars"
