<paragraph id="par_id242131304318587" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Range1</emph> – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range or a label of a column or a row containing values for counting and finding the corresponding criterion.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id23526994221948" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Criterion1</emph> – required argument. A condition in the form of expression or a cell reference to expression that defines what cells should be used for counting. The expression can contain text, numbers or regular expressions. </paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id190621657742" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Criterion_range2</emph> – Optional. Criterion_range2 and all the following mean the same as Criterion_range1.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id317001803813193" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Criterion2</emph> – Optional. Criterion2 and all the following mean the same as Criterion1.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id14223137501158" role="note" xml-lang="en-US">The logical relation between criteria can be defined as logical AND (conjunction). In other words, if and only if all given criteria are met, a row or a column is taken into counting.<br/>
The <emph>Criterion</emph> needs to be a string expression, in particular, the <emph>Criterion</emph> needs to be enclosed in quotation marks ("Criterion") with the exception of the names of functions, cell references and the operator of a string concatenation (&).<br />
The operators equal to (=), not equal to (<>), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), less than (<), and less than or equal to (<=) can be used in criterion arguments for comparison of numbers.<br />
The function can have up to 500 arguments, meaning that you can specify 250 pairs of ranges and criteria.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id16654883224356" role="warning" xml-lang="en-US">If a cell contains TRUE, it is treated as 1, if a cell contains FALSE – as 0 (zero).<br/>
If ranges for arguments <emph>Range</emph> have unequal sizes, the function returns err:502.</paragraph>

Returns 2, because the second, the fifth and the sixth rows do not meet at least one criterion.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id1105320769334" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Counts the amount of rows of the B2:B6 range excluding rows with minimum and maximum values of this range. Returns 2, because the third, the fifth and the sixth rows do not meet at least one criterion.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id111252614832220" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Counts the amount of rows that correspond to all cells of the A2:A6 range starting with "pen" and to all cells of the B2:B6 range with exception of its maximum. Returns 1, because only second row meets all criteria.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="hd_id212582362610399" role="heading" level="4" xml-lang="en-US">Reference to a cell as a criterion</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3245551524846" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the COUNTIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows:</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id109501907712434" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><item type="input">=COUNTIFS(A2:A6;E2&".*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))</item></paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id738533068520" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If E2 = pen, the function returns 1, because the link to the cell is substituted with its content and it works as a function above.</paragraph>
