The condition could be using a cell and have that as a relative. The range might be absolute if you wanted to use the same range each time, but with different criteria. The first function could be put in one cell and copied, always using the same range, but always using different criteria. So for example your range might be cells A2 to A100 and each cell contains either the word North, South, East or West. In cells C2, C3, C4 and C5, you could put one of each of the four words. Then in cell D2 you could put the following formula and copy it into cells D3, D4 and D5.
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$100,C2)
COUNTIF counts things that meet certain criteria. The IF function can help a spreadsheet to make decisions. See the related question below.
You could use the COUNTIF function. If you have a column with the words yes and no in them, say in the cells from C2 to C25 and wanted to know how many contained yes and how many contained word, then you would use the following formulas:=COUNTIF(C2:C25,"Yes")=COUNTIF(C2:C25,"No")
The Countif function is used to count values that meet a certain criteria. Say you have a block of various numbers in the cells from A2 to C10 and you want to find out how many of them are over 20. You would use the following function, which you would put in a blank cell. =countif(A2:C10,">20")
The COUNTIF function counts the number of cells in a range, that meet a given criteria.COUNTIF(range,criteria)range = range of cells that you want to count based on the criteriacriteria = determine which cells to count.So if you only want to count some numbers in a list, but not all, COUNTIF rather than COUNT would be used. Say you had a list of exam results in the cells B2 to B30. If 40 was the pass mark and you wanted to count how many passes there were, your formula would be like this:=COUNTIF(B2:B30,">=40")
A COUNTIF can only have one criteria. What you could do is use four COUNTIF functions in one formula and add them together. So say that you wanted to find the single total of four different names in a list, you could do it like this:=COUNTIF(A3:A200,"John")+COUNTIF(A3:A200,"Tim")+COUNTIF(A3:A200,"Bob")+COUNTIF(A3:A200,"Ronnie")If the criteria are combined, rather than searching for four different things, you could use IF with the AND and/or the OR function to first work out if something meets your 4 criteria and put the result in a new column. If it meets all 4 criteria you could put 1 in that cell otherwise 0. Then you could count the amount of times 1 appears on that column with a normal COUNTIF function, or even SUM up all the values and you would also get the total. If you have Excel 2007 or higher, there is a COUNTIFS function which can deal with multiple criteria.

The COUNTIF function.
Countif function is an excel function that counts the number of cells which answers a criteria.Countif function looks like this =countif(range,criteria)Range: the range we want to count.Criteria: the criteria each cell must meet in order to be counted (if it contains data).
To count only numbers that exceed a particular value use the COUNTIF function. In your example, where the numbers to be counted are in the range A1:G1 use the following formula: =COUNTIF(A1:G1,">5000")
The COUNTIF function can do that.
Without knowing your specific problem, it's hard to give a good answer, but here are some formulas that might help.If A1 EQUALS "X" OR B1EQUALS "Y" then return 1 otherwise return 2IF(OR(A1="X", B1="Y"), 1, 2)If A1 EQUALS "X" AND B1EQUALS "Y" then return 1, otherwise return 2IF(AND(A1="X",B1="Y"), 1, 2)If any cell in column A EQUALS X, OR any cell in column B EQUALS Y, return 1, otherwise return 2IF(OR(COUNTIF(A:A, "X") > 0, COUNTIF(B:B, "Y") > 0), 1, 2)If any cell in column A is GREATER THAN5, OR any cell in column B is GREATER THAN 4, return 1, otherwise return 2IF(OR(COUNTIF(A:A, ">"&5) > 0, COUNTIF(B:B, ">"&4) > 0), 1, 2)If any cell in column A EQUALS X, AND any cell in column B EQUALS Y, return 1, otherwise return 2IF(AND(COUNTIF(A:A, "X") > 0, COUNTIF(B:B, "Y") > 0), 1, 2)If any cell in column A is GREATER THAN5, AND any cell in column B is GREATER THAN 4, return 1, otherwise return 2IF(AND(COUNTIF(A:A, ">"&5) > 0, COUNTIF(B:B, ">"&4) > 0), 1, 2)
