The countif function is a way to count instances of specific cases. You can count the number of columns where a number is greater than ten for example by entering =(A1:A10,">10"). This formula checks values in the range A1:A10 for those that meet the condition >10. The microsoft documentation concerning this function is very helpful. Consult it.
