Counting up the number of times a value higher than....

Evening,

I use this formula to count the number of times the number 2 is in the column:

=COUNTIF('VA Predictions'!AA$2:AA$300,2)

I am now trying to count the times a number:

- higher than 2
- lower than 2

are in the column, I tried this:

=COUNTIF('VA Predictions'!AA$2:AA$300,<2)

but it doesn't like it, any ideas please?

Many thanks
