Here was my problem.  I had a long list of values, each had a status of either “good”, “bad”, or “incomplete”.  I wanted to count the number of times each of the follow occurred.  It turned out to be pretty easy.

Create the following formula where you want the count to be.COUNTIF(range,expression) and bobs your uncle.
