# **COUNTIFS in Google Sheets**

Counts the rows that meet every one of several conditions. Use the same range twice to count between two limits.

=

COUNTIFS(

## **In Google Sheets**

COUNTIFS takes the same pairs of range and criterion in Google Sheets, and every range must be the same size.

## **Syntax**

```
COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2], ...)
```

<dl><dt>**criteria_range1 **</dt>
<dd>The cells the first condition is checked against.</dd>
<dt>**criteria1 **</dt>
<dd>The first condition.</dd>
<dt>**criteria_range2, criteria2 **(optional)</dt>
<dd>More range and condition pairs, up to 127.</dd></dl>

## **Examples**

E1`=COUNTIFS(<sup>1</sup>A2:A6,<sup>2</sup>"North",<sup>3</sup>B2:B6,<sup>4</sup>"Shoes")`

|  | A | B | C | D | E |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Region | Product | Sales |  | **2** |
| 2 | North | Shoes | 500 |  | |
| 3 | South | Shoes | 300 |  | |
| 4 | North | Bags | 250 |  | |
| 5 | North | Shoes | 420 |  | |
| 6 | South | Bags | 180 |  | |

**In plain words:** Count the rows where <sup>1</sup>the region in A2:A6 is <sup>2</sup>North and <sup>3</sup>the product in B2:B6 is <sup>4</sup>Shoes.

E1=COUNTIFS(C2:C6,">=200",C2:C6,"<=400")

|  | A | B | C | D | E |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Region | Product | Sales |  | **2** |
| 2 | North | Shoes | 500 |  | |
| 3 | South | Shoes | 300 |  | |
| 4 | North | Bags | 250 |  | |
| 5 | North | Shoes | 420 |  | |
| 6 | South | Bags | 180 |  | |
