Default How do I use DCount to exclude data?

Looking at Excel's Help File on Dcount (specifically the Criteria
Examples section), it may be that you need to have the two prices on
the same row; . . .

I am trying to exclude price ranges from <100,000 to 150,000 from my
database, my criteria range is B9:C10.
Price <100000
Price 150000
These are on 2 separate lines.

I have my database entered and "price" as my field range, but my
criteria range is wrong.


OP is correct, the criteria range is screwed up. AND criteria need to
appear in the same line in the criteria range, and the field names need
to appear in the top row of the criteria range just as they need to
appear in the top row of the data range. Also, criteria ranges specify
which records to select, NOT which records to exclude.

So the criteria range should look like

Price Price
=100000 <=150000


Alternatively, if the Price column of the data range were column G and
the first record of the data range were in row 5, the criteria could be
combined in a criteria range with a blank cell in the top row and a
formula in the second row. Like so.

<blank
=AND(G5=100000,G5<=150000)
