CONDITIONAL / NESTED COUNTIF

[OrlandoFreeman]

I want to countif the occurrences between a certain average result/number in
my cell V66 and cero. Because my data would be changing over time, the
numbers of occurences will be higher or lower. How do I combine the following
to countif and always get a positive number?:

- If I use my formulae =COUNTIF(V5:V64,">"&V66)-COUNTIF(V5:V64,">0"), I get
the correct number, but it is a negative number (e.g.-25)

- If I reverse the order in the formulae above:

=COUNTIF(V5:V64,">0")-COUNTIF(V5:V64,">"&V66), I still get the correct
number and it is positive (e.g. 25).


Thank you

Hi Orlando,

try with this:

=ABS(COUNTIF(V5:V64,">"&V66)-COUNTIF(V5:V64,">0"))

Thank you Franz,

I tried your ABS formulae and seems to work fine. I also tried the following
and also works. Which formulae do U think would give the most as I have to
use and keep it up-to-date over 12 worksheets?


=IF(COUNTIF(V5:V64,">"&V66)<COUNTIF(V5:V64,">0"),COUNTIF(V5:V64,">0")-COUNTIF(V5:V64,">"&V66),"")

I will try yours now.

Less function you use in a formula faster will be your formula and also, I
think that the one with ABS is more readable...
