Count number of cells in a range that match the content of a different cell
问题 I am trying to use COUNTIF in Excel to find how many items in a range match the contents of a separate cell. The idea is, the range contains everyone's answers to a given question (a one-word, non-numeric answer); the comparison column contains the correct answer. I want a count of how many people got the answer correct. I tried: =COUNTIF(C16:BT16,"=BU16") But it appears COUNTIF won't let me reference a cell with the criteria in it -- it requires the match criteria directly in the formula,
