Default Formula

Hi, I was hoping for some help. I am a complete excel novice, and the
formula I require is probably quite basic compared to some! but
hopefully someone can help.

I have a column that is calculating the number of days taken for a
particular task, based on dates input in other columns. I have
formatted the column so that anything greater than 3 is highlighted in
a colour red. What I am trying to do is at the bottom of the sheet,
put a "total" cell in that will tell me how many rows have values that
are greater than 3 (or coloured red), whichever is easier.

Ie, trying to get the figure for how many instances the task has taken
longer than 3 days.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Where you want your result, place this formula:

=Countif(E2:E7,"3")


where E2:E7 is the range of data.
