Returns the count of criteria_ranges based on the given criterions.

## Syntax

```
COUNTIFS(count_range, criteria_1, [count_range_n], [criteria_n])
```

## Arguments

| Argument        | Description                                                                                              | Required |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|
| `count_range`   | The range to check against criteria1.                                                                    | Required |
| `criteria_1`    | The criteria is the formula that has access to the special `CELL` keyword. The formula will be evaluated for each cell in the range. | Required |
| `count_range_n` | Additional range checked against additional criteria.                                                   | Optional |
| `criteria_n`    | Additional criteria range that will be evaluated.                                                       | Optional |

## Examples

### Count cells meeting single criteria

=COUNTIFS(A1:A4, CELL = "Yes")

Result ⇒ 2

|     |     |
|-----|-----|
|     | A   |
| 1   | Yes |
| 2   | No  |
| 3   | Yes |
| 4   | Maybe|

### Count cells meeting multiple criteria

=COUNTIFS(A1:A4, CELL >= 80, B1:B4, CELL = "Pass")

Result ⇒ 3

|     |     |     |
|-----|-----|-----|
|     | A   | B   |
| 1   | 85  | Pass |
| 2   | 95  | Pass |
| 3   | 75  | Fail |
| 4   | 90  | Pass |

### Count with numeric criteria

=COUNTIFS(A1:A4, CELL > 10)

Result ⇒ 2

|     |     |
|-----|-----|
|     | A   |
| 1   | 10  |
| 2   | 20  |
| 3   | 30  |
| 4   | 5   |
