Excel: Counting values between two numbers 1

[Gooter]

I have a cell range with numerical values. If I want to count how many numbers fall between a range, how would I do that? I'm trying to use the COUNTIF function and I cannot get it to work when I use more than one variable.

Example:

This works if I only want to count the values greater than 50

=COUNTIF(A6:A100,">50&quot

but I don't know how to modify the formula if I want to count how many values fall between 50 and 75.

=COUNTIF(A6:A100, &quot;>=50<=75&quot does not work.

Thanks in advance.

Here's how I would solve this one.

1. Use SUBTOTAL(2,range)

2. Filter range based on your criteria

Hrmm, I couldn't get that to work. Probably not doing it correctly. I'd really like to use a formula for this though. Any more suggestions?

What is not working

The filter criteria

the subtotal function?

The subtotal function counted the number of cells which contained values in my range. I couldn't figure out how to use the filter criteria to count how many values were between two numbers, eg. 50 - 75.

Example

Cells:
A1~~51
A2~~58
A3~~40
A4~~57
A5~~50

The result of =subtotal(2,A1:A5) was 5. I then went to Data -> Filter -> Advanced Filter and couldn't figure out how to set my criteria.

 

[SkipVought]

Choose Custom in the filter and then select the appropriate operator and fill in or select the values

Greater than or equal to 5
Less than or equal to 50

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I am reading this Gooter doesn't want to filter he just wants a count of the number of occurances between two numbers. Here is one way, not very fancy but it seems to work.

=(COUNTIF(Range,&quot;>MinValue&quot+COUNTIF(Range,&quot;<MaxValue&quot)-COUNT(Range)

Let me know if this works for you.

weaselthend,

Can you believe it? I had a mental block on this one.

Good solution!

Weaselthend,

Yep, that's what I was trying to do. Thanks! And thanks to SkipVoight as well!

My simplistic answer will also work...

=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A12,&quot;<75&quot-(COUNTIF(A1:A12,&quot;<50&quot))

Hey GOOTER,

You owe weaselthend a STAR!

=COUNTIF(A6:A100,&quot;>=50&quot-COUNTIF(A6:A100,&quot;>75&quot
