  1. The part under “4. Using COUNTIFS Function” is incorrect and misleading.
    Specifying the input range as C4:C10:E4:E10 is exactly the same specification as C4:E10. Meaning in this way of writing you are referring to a single range and not to “Multiple Ranges Same Criteria in Excel” as the title is promising. You better remove this section.

  2. Related to comment above and my experience. Is it possible to select two different ranges not near each other?

    As when I attempt this it shows the two different ranges highlighted however the formulas returns other ranges in between.

    Example:
    =sum(countifs(b4:h4:b10:h10, {“A”}))
