    Countifs: Way to incorporate an or condition in the list of criteria ranges/criteria?

    I am using countifs extensively in the spreadsheet - but have a condition that could be solved easily by the ability to incorporate an "or" condition in the criteria list within the function. Is that possible?

    1st hit with Google, using the search term "excel countif with or" returns the above.



    Edit

    Whoops - you said countifS. Try this:

    I think the way you approach this might differ depending on the nature of the "OR" criteria, how many different conditions are there, are you doing an exact match with criteria or using ">" or "<" type criteria? Some approaches might not be possible depending on your answers so more details please......
