And this saves 4 keystrokes and does *exactly* the same thing!

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A20=0)*(A1:A20<=3))

It seems to be the "fashion" to use the unary, even when unnecessary.

Thanks Biff,
That works just the way I needed it to. The formula makes sense, but what is
the purpose of the two -- in the formula.
Thanks,

Hi!

Assume the list is in column A:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A20=0),--(A1:A20<=3))

Or, put the number ranges in two cells:

B1 = 0
C1 = 3

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A20=B1),--(A1:A20<=C1))

Hi,
I have a long column list of numbers that I need to count
instances of.
example: the instances of numbers =0 & <=3, =4 & <=7,
etc.
Thanks,
Soz
