The COUNTIF function provides the ability to establish how many occurrences of a specific value or condition exist in a range of values. This function begins to increase capability with a function that is simple to operate. COUNTIF "Counts the number of cells within a range that meet the given condition" There are two arguments required to use the COUNTIF function, the first, range, is usually a group of cells, the second, criteria, is the argument that is used to match the cells in the range. In this example, we'll use the COUNTIF function to establish how many time the word "day" appears in a list of text. The range of cells that need to be checked for the word "day" exist in the range B2:B28 and the criteria we wish to count is entered as "day". The result of this function is the following: So we can conclude there are 7 occurrences of the word "day" in the range B2:B38. We can also use a cell reference as the second argument as
