<paragraph id="par_id27421466710275" role="code" xml-lang="en-US">COUNTIFS(Range1; Criterion1 [; Range2; Criterion2 [; ...]])</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id242131304318587" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Range1</emph> – required argument. It is a range of cells, a name of a named range or a label of a column or a row containing values for counting and finding the corresponding criterion.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id23526994221948" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Criterion1</emph> – required argument. A condition in the form of expression or a cell reference to expression that defines what cells should be used for counting. The expression can contain text, numbers, regular expressions (if enabled in calculation options) or wildcards (if enabled in calculation options). </paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id190621657742" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Range2</emph> – Optional. Range2 and all the following mean the same as Range1.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id317001803813193" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Criterion2</emph> – Optional. Criterion2 and all the following mean the same as Criterion1.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id14223137501158" role="note" xml-lang="en-US">The logical relation between criteria can be defined as logical AND (conjunction). In other words, if and only if all given criteria are met, a row or a column is taken into counting.<br/>
The <emph>Criterion</emph> needs to be a string expression, in particular, the <emph>Criterion</emph> needs to be enclosed in quotation marks ("Criterion") with the exception of the names of functions, cell references and the operator of a string concatenation (&).<br />
The operators equal to (=), not equal to (<>), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), less than (<), and less than or equal to (<=) can be used in criterion arguments for comparison of numbers.<br />
The function can have up to 500 arguments, meaning that you can specify 250 pairs of ranges and criteria.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id16654883224356" role="warning" xml-lang="en-US">If a cell contains TRUE, it is treated as 1, if a cell contains FALSE – as 0 (zero).<br/>
If ranges for arguments <emph>Range</emph> and <emph>Criterion</emph> have unequal sizes, the function returns err:502.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id111252614832220" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Counts the amount of rows that correspond to all cells of the A2:A6 range starting with "pen" and to all cells of the B2:B6 range with exception of its maximum. Returns 1, because only second row meets all criteria.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="hd_id212582362610399" role="heading" level="4" xml-lang="en-US">Reference to a cell as a criterion</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3245551524846" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If you need to change a criterion easily, you may want to specify it in a separate cell and use a reference to this cell in the condition of the COUNTIFS function. For example, the above function can be rewritten as follows:</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id109501907712434" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><item type="input">=COUNTIFS(A2:A6;E2&".*";B2:B6;"<"&MAX(B2:B6))</item></paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id738533068520" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">If E2 = pen, the function returns 1, because the link to the cell is substituted with its content and it works as a function above.</paragraph>
