CountIf Command

CountIf( <Condition>, <List> )

Counts the number of elements in the list satisfying the condition.

Example:

• CountIf(x < 3, {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}) gives you the number 2.
• CountIf(x < 3, A1:A10), where A1:A10 is a range of cells in the spreadsheet, counts all cells whose values are less than 3.

Note: For list of numbers arbitrary condition may be used. For list of other objects one can use only conditions of the form x==constant or x!=constant.

CountIf( <Condition>, <Variable>, <List> )

As above, using a more flexible syntax.

Example:

Given points P, Q, R CountIf(x(A) < 3, A, {P, Q, R}) will count only the points whose x-coordinate is less than 3. The variable A is replaced in turn with P then Q then R for the check. Therefore CountIf(x(A) < 3, A, {(0, 1), (4, 2), (2, 2)}) yields the number 2.
