Counting number of cells with a value

A have a colum with (a lot of) numbers.
I want to count the number of cells that have a value between 250 and 500.
I presume I shall use the COUNTIF-function, but I am stuck....
Can anybody help ?

Try COUNTIFS (with an "S") , e.g. for column A

=COUNTIFS(A:A,">=250",A:A,"<=500")

that includes both 250 and 500 and everything in between....
