    counting cells in a range that contain any of several text values

    Hi! I'm a stumped grad student. Any help is hugely appreciated!

    I have this huge spreadsheet with demographic info on every nurse in Texas. Each row is an individual nurse. I need to determine how many work in urban and rural counties. One column on the sheet lists the county of practice for each nurse.

    I've tried COUNTIFS but it keeps returning errors. It seems like this should be a simple formula but I am completely stumped!

    Thanks again in advance for any assistance!

    committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter rather than just Enter, where F2:F4 contain the counties to be included in the count
