The "1-5" signifies a range, i.e. 1- 5 minutes. It's not being picked up
either by SUM or COUNT, possibly b/c it has logical IF statements in the
cells. Not sure if that makes an impact though.

In what sense does =COUNT(P1:P200) not work?
This function counts the number of cells with numeric values
Did you really want SUM not COUNT?

I want to count the number of cells in a column with 1-5 in them. The
other
cells in this same column are "false" and I don't want those to be
counted.
I've tried =count(p1:p20) and =countif(p1:p20,"false"), but neither of
these
works.

Please help.
