i have a column (column B) of cells with numbers in the cells. i want to
count for. example, how many cells have a number between 12 and 29. i used
=countif(B:B,"=12 and <=29") but it did not work. =countif(B:B,"=12,<=29")
also did not work. what is the correct syntax for the criteria in the

thanks for your help
