countif with non-continous ranges
aaahh, THANK YOU very much for explaining this way, now I understand!

It's because you aren't really using multiple ranges
=COUNTIF(U5:U10:U12:U17,"3.028")
is the same as
=COUNTIF(U5:U17,"3.028")
you can test that by putting 3.028 in U11 and notice that it will be
counted, but
=SUM(COUNTIF(INDIRECT({"U5:U10","U12:U17"}),3.028 ))
will not count 3.028 in U11
but if U11 is blank the result would be the same
It's funny I get the same results no matter what formula I use the one you
sent and mine, I just look at mine and it doesn't appear logical...

=COUNTIF(U5:U10:U12:U17,"3.028")/COUNTA(U5:U10,U12:U17)
Thanks so much for your help.
