COUNTIF and SUMIF

They sure are loaded with nuance, especially COUNTIF.

COUNTIF and SUMIF are crappy functions,

they count the below regardless if text or numeric and
if you remove the quotations they do the same but use
a wildcard and it looks for text only

COUNTIF(A1:A10,"1")

That'll miss cells which contain just the single entry 1 (if a single
entry has not been formatted as text).
