Hi!

All you need to do is change this portion of the formula depending on which
criteria you want:

(C4:S4=0))

The above will count 0's.

For greater than 0:

(C4:S40))

For less than 0:

(C4:S4<0))

You haven't explained what you meant when you said the formula did not work.

Biff,
Each cell that I am comparing is defined as a percentage 12.12%. After
I
count the number of cells which with 0 percentage, I want to count the
number
of cells which has greater than 0 percentage, then count the number of
cells
with less than 0 (negative Percent).

Forget about Countif in this case unless you want to string a bunch of
them
together like this:

=COUNTIF(C4,0)+COUNTIF(G4,0)+etc,etc.

When you say you could not get it to work, what exactly does that mean?

You want to count how many cells contain 0 right? Not how many cells are
blank, right?

Are you sure the 0's are numbers and are not TEXT?

Hi!

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(COLUMN(C4:S4)+1,4)=0),--(ISNUMBER(C4:S4)),--(C4:S4=0))

How do you use COUNTIF to check certain cells in a row that have a
value
of
zero.
cell C4, cell G4, cell K4, cell O4, cell S4, ....etc
