Could you be a bit more specific, what did not work and what was your
formula?

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"65")

will count all over 65



=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"60")-COUNTIF(A1:A100,"65")

will count from 61 and up to 65 (including 65)


=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"55")-COUNTIF(A1:A100,"60")

will count 56 to 60 (including 60)


You might have to tweak = etc depending on the limits for each age group
just make sure you don't double count
