Default can't use function 'countif' in named range

There might be other methods of doing your counts. Are your named ranges
broken up with regularity? What defines a named range? Is it a particular
column, cell, calculation?

agree
but the named range is dynamically, meaning it expands on regular base, this
mean I have to change the formula each time !

You can't use COUNTIF() in disjoint ranges. Use:

=COUNTIF()+COUNTIF()+...

instead

have a named range from non-adjacent ranges
most of Excels build-in functions can be used with this named range (such
as, min, max are sum)
However the function CountIf can't be used,
got a message in the cell "#value!"
why is that ?
