Selecting specific cells in a column using countif

[Bob M.]

I am trying to use the countif function but want to include and exclude
specific cells within the same column.

Row 1 = "4"
Row 2 = "4"
Row 3 = "3"
Row 4 = "4"

Example: I want to count "4" in row 1 & row 4 but not in row 2.

Any help would be appreciated.

How do you plan on telling the formula which values/cells to exclude. Is
there some sort of logic...
