    Using COUNTIF function to compare values

    Hello there,

    I'm trying to build an excel software and I have a question.
    I have a table like this in my sheet:
    =======
    100 | 100
    200 | 400
    305 | 300
    ... | ....
    =======
    Now I want to count cells in column two with a value greater than column one with a formula. For example the result is 1 for that table.
    How can I do it?
    Thanks!

    Re: Using COUNTIF function to compare values

    Just to be clear on the results you expect, what would be the result based on your example data?

    Do you mean to compare adjacent cells or are you asking for the total number of cells that are greater than the maximum value in the first column?

    Do you know . . . ?

    Thanks, this is correct.
    But is there any way else that doesn't need an extra column?

    Good day,

    the code in C9 should read

    =if(B9>A9,1,0)

    then = sum(C:C) will give you the count!

    Click on star if your problem is solved!

    Oh yes, but I meant the count of the values, not sum of them.
    Is there any way to COUNT cells without extra column?

    Re: Using COUNTIF function to compare values

    =sumproduct(--(b1:b10>a1:a10))

    or
    This array formula

    {=COUNT(IF(B1:B10>A1:A10,B1:B10))}
