How do I perform operations within a funtion that operates on colu
 

I am trying to calculate the % of people under a certain age. In the
COUNTIF() funtion, how do I calculate the age and then compare it to the
chosen value?
e.x. =COUNTIF(A1:A3,(calculate age) <=60)

COUNTIF has its limits. Here are 2 ways:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(TODAY())-YEAR(A1:A3)<=60))
=SUMPRODUCT(--(DATEDIF(A1:A3,TODAY(),"y")<=60))

one way:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(DATEDIF(A1:A3,TODAY(),"y")<=60))

for the usage of -- in SUMPRODUCT formulae, see
