COUNTIFS can't do that. Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(H1:H25-G1:G25=5))

PJ,

What I'd like to do is this:

=COUNTIFS(H:H - G:G, 5)

(There are other criteria I'm checking at the same time, which is why I'm
using COUNTIFS().) The idea is that I want to check that the difference
between columns H and G is 5. Does that help?

It is unclear to me where the criteria comes in. Is it supposed to be
Count
if the difference is 5 (or something like that)?
