Count;

Is a calculation of the column of numbers, NOT  text, which Excel returns an answer how many cells have no data in them.

 

CountIf:

Counts the number of cells with grade4s,2, in cells A2 through A5 returning value to2 decimal places.

=COUNTIF(A2:A5,"grade4s")

 

SumIf:

I use this for adding up all the credits or all the debits in a column of number, e.g. the bank statement.

SUMIF(A1:A400,">0") adds all the positive values; and change the sign to "<0" adds all the negative value.

 

The value can be0 or any other number, e.g. total sales in product range >10,000 unit currency.

 

Product:

The calculation sum total or function total is the product of a formula. 

 

Sum

Casts and totals numbers in a range horizontally, or vertically.

SUMIF(Range; Criteria; SumRange)

To sum up only negative numbers: =SUMIF(A1:A10;"<0")

=SUMIF(A1:A10;">0";B1:10) - sums values from the range B1:B10 only if the corresponding values in the range A1:A10 are >0.
