How to Count Data Matching Set Criteria in Google Sheets

Sheets Header

The COUNTIF function in Google Sheets lets you analyze data in your spreadsheet and returns the number of times it appears in your document if it meets a set of specific criteria. Here’s how to use it.

Use COUNTIF to Match on One Type of Criteria

Fire up Google Sheets and open a spreadsheet with data you want to count.

Click on an empty cell and type =COUNTIF(<range>,<criterion>) into the cell or the formula entry field, replacing <range> and <criterion> with the range of data to count and the pattern to test, respectively. It should look something like this:

=COUNTIF(F2:I11,"<=40")

Click an empty cell, and then enter the COUNTIF function with the range and criterion you want to match.

After you press the “Enter” key, the cell will contain the number of times the range matches the exact criteria specified.

After you hit the Enter key, the amount of times the function matched will show in the cell.

If the range you want to count contains a string of text in it, it would look something like this:

=COUNTIF(C2:C11,"George")

You can match strings as well.
