sumif or count between zero and 3
 

I'm writing up a repont on existing conditions in a group of houses. There is
a colum for kitchen cabinets. The condition is graded from zero to 3. 3 being
ok. At the bottom of each colum I need to total the number of times 0,1,2
occur. numbers <3.
I've tried some formulas but with no success. Should they be formatted as
text or numbers or does it matter? Does it matter if there is other text such
as * in some cells?

I have tried =COUNTIF(O2:O130,"<3") & =SUMIF(K1:K132,"<3") without success.
