I have got to be missing something simple here. I have the following code where "1" appears 3 times and "5" appears 1 time in Range("A1:A25")...

=COUNTIF(A1:A25,OR(1,5))

Which I would think should return "4", but it is returning "0"... Does anyone have any input? (web searching isn't really helpful here)
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
To calculate that, you can either add two separate COUNTIF formulas, or use an array like this:

=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A25,{1,5}))
