DCOUNT Formula Syntax

=DCOUNT(database, "Units", criteria_range)

Example Use Case

Counting numeric cells in a database column that match specific criteria

Understanding the DCOUNT Formula

The DCOUNT function in Excel counts cells containing numbers in a database column that match specified criteria. It's a database query tool for filtered counting—like counting how many transactions exceeded a certain amount in a particular region.

DCOUNT(database, "Units", criteria_range) counts numeric entries in the Units column from records that meet conditions defined in the criteria range. It takes database, field, and criteria arguments, applying criteria-based filtering before counting—perfect for analyzing the volume of records meeting specific conditions.

Why Use DCOUNT?

DCOUNT enables filtered numeric counting—think conditional tallies or frequency analysis. Its ability to count only numeric values while applying multiple criteria simultaneously makes it valuable for financial analysis, inventory management, or any scenario requiring precise counts of specific data subsets.

Example with Sample Data

Scenario	Formula	Result
Count orders over $1,000 in East region	=DCOUNT(A1:F100, "OrderAmount", G1:H3)	24
Count products with positive inventory in Electronics category	=DCOUNT(A1:F100, "StockLevel", G5:H7)	15
Count transactions in Q1 with customer ID numbers	=DCOUNT(A1:F100, "CustomerID", G9:H11)	78

DCOUNT tallies matching records: 24 high-value orders in East region, 15 in-stock electronics products. The function only counts cells containing numbers, ignoring text, logical values, or blanks. It's a selective numeric counter.
