countif criteria sg

Fred Loh

i have a column (column B) of cells with numbers in the cells. i want to
count for. example, how many cells have a number between 12 and 29. i used
=countif(B:B,">=12 and <=29") but it did not work. =countif(B:B,">=12,<=29")
also did not work. what is the correct syntax for the criteria in the
formula?

thanks for your help

thanks guys!

Gary's Student's solution works and the logic makes sense.

Teethless mama's solution also works but I don't understand why the need to
multiply {1,-1}

i can't get Don's solution to work. i have a "#NUM!" error.
