Is there a way to use the Countif function (or any function) to look up a range of criteria?

Example:

If i had a range of numbers (with repeating values), I would want to know How many times a range of numbers appear.

Right now I use =COUNTIF(A1:A100, "20"), if i wanted to see how many times "20" appears.

What i am looking for is a Function equation that can lookup multiple numbers in a range, then you the COUNT function to give me a total number of appearance ( i.e. How many time numbers 20-50, appear in the range of numbers)


Any help would be appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
If you have the COUNTIFS function in your Excel version then

=COUNTIFS(A1:A100,">=20",A1:A100,"<=50")


Otherwise

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A100>=20),--(A1:A100<=50))


or you could use a double COUNTIF like this

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<=50")-COUNTIF(A1:A100,"<20")

Obviously we posted at the same time but this would include numbers like 19.2 (if fractional numbers are possible with the OP's data) in the 20-50 range so to be safe it would need to be
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,">=20")-COUNTIF(A1:A100,">50")

Thank you all for your assistance. Can I do this , looking for random numbers in the Criteria? (ie, I only want to count how many times certain numbers ( ex: 7, 8, 15, 26, 33, 44, etc ) appear)

=COUNTIF($F$2:$F$11,A9) + COUNTIF($F$2:$F$11,A10) + COUNTIF($F$2:$F$11,A11)

Above is what i came up with (using Mr. Excel MVP mulitple countif). But i want don't want to have to do that for a whole section of Column A (i.e A9 to A11)
