<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>
