Default How do I stop counting?

I have a row of cells and excel is counting how many numbers there are above
0. I want excel to stop counting at 5. Is there any way I can have a message
come up when it hits 5?

Default How do I stop counting?

I have a row of cells from B9:U9. In AA9 I currently have the following
forumula

=COUNTIF(B9:U9, "0")

I want it to stop counting at 5. I would like there to be a message saying
that you can't go to 6.

Thank you in advance for your help.

damanwitdaplan:

You just need to make your Countif conditional. There are several
approaches. If comes to mind:

=IF(COUNTIF(B9:U12,"0")<=5,COUNTIF(b9:U12,"0"),5 )
