COUNTIF criteria
I have the following data:
70 80 71 71 66 83 70 77 79 65 62 57 50 I want to use the COUNTIF function to calculate the no. of times numbers occur in a range. For example how many numbers are between 41-50. The criteria could be something like =41 "to" <=50. But how do i properly format it. If COUNTIF cannot be used for this, other suggestions would be welcome. Actually I want to make a pie-chart or bar-graph chowing this info. Like how many occurences are within 41-50, 51-60 and so on. Thanks in adavnce. Roohbir |

Try this:
Numbers in the range A2:A14. =COUNTIF(A2:A14,"=41")-COUNTIF(A2:A14,"50") Better to use cells to hold the variables: C2 = 41 D2 = 50 =COUNTIF(A2:A14,"="&C2)-COUNTIF(A2:A14,""&D2) Biff "roohbir" wrote in message ups.com...

COUNTIF criteria
Thanks for the reply Biff.
I used using this formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A13,"=41")-COUNTIF(A1:A13,"<=50") It gives me an error which says not to use "-" in the formula. Any ideas?

And when I used this =COUNTIF(A1:A13,"="&B1)-COUNTIF(A1:A13,"<="&C1),
it gave 12, where B1 was 41 and C1 was 50. 12 is wrong. Can you see any reason?

Well, that is because my data starts from A1 and ends at A13. So, I
changed the values accordingly, although the logic is the same.

Your formula is WRONG The logic is NOT the same. The cell references are irrelevant. "" is NOT THE SAME AS "<=" Can you not see that "GREATER THAN" is different than "LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO" ?? --ron |

It may seem to be counterintutitve to use "" in the second Countif formula
but if you tried it you would see that it produces the correct result. If you prefer, you can use this formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A13=B1),--(A1:A13<=C1)) The Countif formula is faster.
