In Excel, which function would you use to count the number of cells in a range that meet a specific condition?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e. =COUNTIF(A1:A10, ">10").

In Microsoft Excel, the COUNTIF function counts cells that meet a specified condition.

Syntax:

COUNTIF(range, criteria)

Example:

=COUNTIF(A1:A10, ">50")

This counts how many cells in A1:A10 have values greater than 50.

Key Point:

  • Works with a single condition
  • Very useful for filtering/counting based on rules without deleting data
