How to count the number of occurrences of a specific value in a range using the COUNTIF function in Excel?

To count the number of occurrences of a specific value in a range using the COUNTIF function in Excel, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open your Excel spreadsheet and select the cell where you want the count result to be displayed.

  2. Type the COUNTIF function in the selected cell using the following syntax: =COUNTIF(range, criteria)

    • 'range' is the range of cells that you want to search for the specific value.
    • 'criteria' is the value or condition that you want to count.

    For example, if you want to count the number of occurrences of the value "Apple" in cells A1 to A10, you would use the formula: =COUNTIF(A1:A10,"Apple")

  3. Press Enter to get the count result.

The cell will now display the number of occurrences of the specific value in the given range.
