Count cells if greater than
This tutorial shows how to count cells that are greater than a specific value through the use of Excel formulas or VBA
Example: Count cells if greater than
|
=COUNTIF(C8:C14,">"&C5)
|
This formula uses the Excel COUNTIF function to count the number of cells in range (C8:C14) that have a value greater than the value in cell C5.
|
METHOD 2. Count cells if greater than a specific value with the value entered directly into the formula
EXCEL
|
=COUNTIF(C8:C14,">500")
|
This formula uses the Excel COUNTIF function to count the number of cells in range (C8:C14) that contain a value of greater than 500, which is directly entered into the formula.
|
Sub Count_cells_if_greater_than()
'declare a variable
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Worksheets("Analysis")
'apply the formula to count the cells that have a value greater than the value in cell (C5)
ws.Range("E8") = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws.Range("C8:C14"), ">" & ws.Range("C5"))
ws.Range("E8") = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(ws.Range("C8:C14"), ">" & ws.Range("C5"))
End Sub
ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS
Output Range: Select the output range by changing the cell reference ("E8") in the VBA code.
Range: Select the range from which you want to count cells that are greater than a specific value by changing the range reference ("C8:C14") in the VBA code.
Specific Value: Select the value that you want to count if a cell's value is greater than this value by changing the cell reference ("C5") in the VBA code.
Worksheet Selection: Select the worksheet which captures a range of cells from which you want to count the number of cells that contain a value greater than the specific value by changing the Analysis worksheet name in the VBA code. You can also change the name of this object variable, by changing the name 'ws' in the VBA code.

EXPLANATION
This tutorial shows and explains how to count cells that are greater than a specific value by using Excel formulas or VBA.
This tutorial provides two Excel methods that can be applied to count cells that are greater than a specific value in a selected range by using an Excel COUNTIF function. The first method reference to a cell that capture the value that we want to count if a cell contains a value greater than this, whilst the second method has the value (500) directly entered into the formula.

FORMULA (value manually entered)
=COUNTIF(range, ">value")
=COUNTIF(range, ">value")
FORMULA (value sourced from cell reference)
=COUNTIF(range, ">"&value)
=COUNTIF(range, ">"&value)
ARGUMENTS
range: The range of cells you want to count from.
value: The value that is used to determine which of the cells should be counted if the cells' value, from a specified range, is greater than this value.
range: The range of cells you want to count from.
value: The value that is used to determine which of the cells should be counted if the cells' value, from a specified range, is greater than this value.
