In a previous post I covered counting how often a value occurs within a range. In that post we looked into one criteria, and we used the COUNTIF function.
But what if we want to count cells that meet multiple criteria. We can not use the COUNTIF function in this case, so we will take a [...]

Because this function count cells based on a given criteria, that fact will help us limit the count to our specified value.

COUNT(A1:A20) :counts numbers in a range of cells.
COUNT(A1:A20, 7) :counts numbers in a range [...]
