I am trying to count random cells (non contiguous)
=COUNT(C41,C61,C81,C101,C121,C141,C161,C181)

Your cells follow a pattern, every 20 rows, so you can use a formula like
this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(C41:C181)-ROW(C41),20)=0),--(C41:C1810))

For =0, an empty cell evaluates as 0 so if you have empty cells and don't
want them counted:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MOD(ROW(C41:C181)-ROW(C41),20)=0),--(ISNUMBER(C41:C181)),--(C41:C181=0))

Thanks Bernard

So, is there no way I can count through the selected cells to the amount
of
values that are 0, =0, <0

Not very sophisticated but it works
=(ABS(C41)<=1)+(ABS(C61)<=1)+(ABS(C81)<=1)+(ABS(C1 01)<=1).....

I am trying to count random cells (non contiguous) in the same column
and
show (in one cell) the total number that are 1, =0, <1

my formula thus far =COUNT(C41,C61,C81,C101,C121,C141,C161,C181)
this shows how many numbers (8)

How do I distinguish for my criteria above?

Your thoughts are appreciated.
