Default countif problem - am I bonkers?

It seems like it should be easy to use countif to look at a column and
count how many cells lie in a specific range but I can't figure out a
simple way to do it without creating inbetween columns first

since you seem to be have to use

COUNTIF(A:A,"<10") to count less than 10's, I thought
COUNTIF(A:A,"0<10") or COUNTIF(A:A,"0","<10") might be logical, but
they don't work obviously (not sure why you even need the " in there at
all

I've had to make a column from 1 to 100, and use COUNTIF(A:A,Bn) where n
is 2 to 101, and then set up ten sums to work out the values in ranges
1-10,11-20 etc

bah humbug!

What about:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"<10")-COUNTIF(A:A,"<=0")
