# **COUNTIF practice in Google Sheets**

COUNTIF counts the cells in a range that meet one condition. In Google Sheets it takes the same two arguments as in Excel and understands the same operators and wildcards.

COUNTIF(

1. [**1****COUNTIF with a text condition**In D2, use COUNTIF to count how many orders in B2:B8 came from Copenhagen.](https://practiceexcelonline.com/sheets/practice/countif/countif-text)
