Default COUNTIF - Multiple Criteria

I'm trying to count the number of rows where a cell DOESN't equal a number of
values. I know this isn't the syntax but am looking for something as follows;

i.e. COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<NEW", "<CLOSED", "<MONITOR")

Default COUNTIF - Multiple Criteria

If you want to also skip blanks, try this:
=COUNTA(A1:A100)-SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A100,{"NEW","CLOSED","MONITOR"}))

Otherwise, to include blanks in the count:
=ROWS(A1:A100)-SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A100,{"NEW","CLOSED","MONITOR"}))

Does that help?

Ta. And if I want to count all rows but EXCLUDE those where the values are
New/Closed/Monitor can I use the '<' symbols ?

RegardingL
if I want to count all rows but EXCLUDE those where the values are New/Closed/Monitor <<


Both formulas that I posted achieve that....and no, you can't use < in this
application. Each test in the formula is independent of the other tests.

Example:
If cells A1:A10 contain 1 instance each of New/Closed/Monitor, this part of
the formula:
SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A100,{"NEW","CLOSED","MONITOR"}))

returns 3.

Changing it to:
SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A100,{"<NEW","<CLOSED","<MONITOR "}))

returns 27.

Consequently, you need to count ALL cells and subtract the cells matching
New/Closed/Monitor.

Does that help?
