Ashish, you meant to say 40...

Ryan, since the condition is <40 you need to have the second condition as =40

=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"35")-COUNTIF(A1:A5,"=40")

Glenn, if you are using Excel 2007 you can try the below

=COUNTIFS(A1:A5,"35",A1:A5,"<40")

If this post helps click Yes

I tried to write a formula to count how often the value of a range of
cells
falls between two numbers. for example in the chart below:

row value
1 25
2 27
3 36
4 37
5 42

I tried the formula =countif(a1:a5,and(35,<40)) and my result was "0"
when
it should be "2".

Can anyone help correct my formula?

thanks
