The COUNT function counts the number of cells containing numbers in a range or array. For example, COUNT(A1:A20) would count the number of cells in A1:A20 containing numbers. COUNTIF counts the number of cells meeting a specific criterion, such as a particular city or matching a reference cell's value. It takes the range to search and the criterion as arguments, like COUNTIF(A2:A5,"London") to count cells in A2:A5 containing "London".

Count and Countif
The COUNT function counts the number of cells containing numbers in a range or array. For example, COUNT(A1:A20) would count the number of cells in A1:A20 containing numbers. COUNTIF counts the number of cells meeting a specific criterion, such as a particular city or matching a reference cell's value. It takes the range to search and the criterion as arguments, like COUNTIF(A2:A5,"London") to count cells in A2:A5 containing "London".

The COUNT function counts the number of cells
that contain numbers, and counts numbers
within the list of arguments. Use the COUNT function to get the number of entries in a number field that is in a range or array of numbers. For example, you can enter the following formula to count the numbers in the range A1:A20: =COUNT(A1:A20). In this example, if five of the cells in the range contain numbers, the result is 5. Use COUNTIF, one of the statistical functions, to count the number of cells that meet a criterion; for example, to count the number of times a particular city appears in a customer list. In its simplest form, COUNTIF says: =COUNTIF(Where do you want to look?, What do you want to look for?) For example: =COUNTIF(A2:A5,"London") =COUNTIF(A2:A5,A4)
