Countif with Multiple Criteria in Excel

Here we will look at different scenarios for using multiple criteria. So let us see a simple process to know how you can count with multiple criteria in Excel.

Step 1

Consider an Excel sheet where you have the required data.

First, to count cells based on text value in a single column, click on an empty cell and enter the formula as =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,"KTE")+COUNTIF($A$2:$A$15,"KTO") then click enter. In the formula A2:A15, the range of cells

Empty Cell > Formula > Enter.

Step 2

Then count multiple criteria based on two values. Click on an empty cell and enter the formula as =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$9,">50")-COUNTIF($A$2:$A$9,">100") and click enter. In the formula B2:B15, the range of cells

Empty Cell > Formula > Enter.

Step 3

Finally, to count the cells between two dates, click on an empty cell and enter the formula as =COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$15, ">=5/1/2019", $B$2:$B$15, "<=8/1/2019") and click enter. In the formula B2:B15, the range of cells

Empty Cell > Formula > Enter.
