To get the number of KTE and KTO, please enter this formula:
And then press Enter key to get the number of these two products. See screenshot:
Notes:
1. In the above formula: A2:A15 is the data range that you want to use, KTE and KTO are the criteria that you want to count.
2. If there are more than two criteria that you want to count in one column, just use =COUNTIF(range1, criteria1) + COUNTIF(range2, criteria2) + COUNTIF(range3, criteria3)+…
- Tips:
- Another compact formula also can help you to solve this problem: =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,{"KTE";"KTO"})), and then press Enter key to get the result.
- And you can add the criteria just as =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(range,{ "criteria1";"criteria2";"criteria3";"criteria4"…})).
Count cells with multiple criteria between two values
If you need to count the number of cells that the value is between two given numbers, how to solve this job in Excel?

- Tips:
- You can also apply the COUNTIFS function to deal with this task, please type this formula: =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$15,">200",$B$2:$B$15,"<500"), and then press Enter key to get the result.
- And you can add the criteria just as =COUNTIFS(range1,"criteria1",range2,"criteria2",range3,"criteria3",...).
