COUNTIFS Function in Excel

Count Data that Meet Specified Criteria

COUNTIFS counts positions where all specified criteria are met across corresponding ranges.

Quick Example

=COUNTIFS(Criteria Range 1, Criteria 1, ...)

  • Criteria Range 1: Range of cells that houses the (first) criteria
  • Criteria 1: The criteria to be counted

These conditional functions evaluate criteria when calculating their result.

  • other examples include: SUMIFS, AVERAGEIFS, and MAXIFS

Use COUNTIFS or SUMIFS when you need one or more criteria pairs. COUNTIF and SUMIF remain valid for single-condition tasks; check the argument order for the function you choose.
