How to countif with multiple criteria in Excel?
In Excel, COUNTIF function may help us to calculate the number of a certain value in a list. But sometimes, we need to use multiple criteria for counting, this will be more complex, today, I will talk about some items for counting with multiple criteria.
MethodA: Countif with multiple criteria in same column
- Count cells with multiple criteria based on text value
- Count cells with multiple criteria between two values
- Count cells with multiple criteria between two dates
MethodB: Countif with multiple criteria in same column with a useful feature
Countif with multiple criteria in same column
Count cells with multiple criteria based on text value
For example, I have the following data which contains some products, and now I need to count the number of KTE and KTO which are populated in the same column, see screenshot:
To get the number of KTE and KTO, please enter this formula:
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,"KTE")+COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,"KTO")
And then press Enter key to get the number of these two products. See screenshot:
Notes:
1. In the above formula: A2:A15 is the data range that you want to use, KTE and KTO are the criteria that you want to count.
2. If there are more than two criteria that you want to count in one column, just use =COUNTIF(range1, criteria1) + COUNTIF(range2, criteria2) + COUNTIF(range3, criteria3)+…
- Tips:
- Another compact formula also can help you to solve this problem: =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,{"KTE";"KTO"})), and then press Enter key to get the result.
- And you can add the criteria just as =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(range,{ "criteria1";"criteria2";"criteria3";"criteria4"…})).
Select cells based on specific criteria and then get the number
Kutools for Excel supports a powerful feature-Select Specific Cells which can help you to select and get the number of the cells to contain the criteria you specified. Please see the below demo. Click to download Kutools for Excel!
Count cells with multiple criteria between two values
If you need to count the number of cells that the value is between two given numbers, how to solve this job in Excel?
Take the below screenshot as an example, I want to get the result of the number that is between 200 and 500. Please do with these formulas:
Enter this formula into a blank cell where you want to locate the result:
=COUNTIF($B$2:$B$15,">200")-COUNTIF($B$2:$B$15,">500")
And then press Enter key to get the result as you need, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula:
- B2:B15 is the cell range that you want to use, >200 and >500 are the criteria you want to count the cells;
- the whole formula means, to find the number of cells that have a value greater than 200 and then subtract the count of cells with a value greater than 500.
- Tips:
- You can also apply the COUNTIFS function to deal with this task, please type this formula: =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$15,">200",$B$2:$B$15,"<500"), and then press Enter key to get the result.
- And you can add the criteria just as =COUNTIFS(range1,"criteria1",range2,"criteria2",range3,"criteria3",...).
Count cells with multiple criteria between two dates
To count the cells based on date range, the COUNTIF and COUNTIFS functions can do you a favor as well.
For example, I want to count the cell numbers that the date is between 5/1/2019 and 8/1/2019 in a column, please do as this:
Enter the below formula into a blank cell:
=COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$15, ">=5/1/2019", $B$2:$B$15, "<=8/1/2019")
And then press Enter key to get the count number, see screenshot:
Note: In the above formula:
- B2:B15 is the cell range that you want to use;
- >=5/1/2018 and <=8/1/2019 are the date criteria you want to count the cells;
