DCOUNT(database, field, criteria)

- Criteria can be any range on the 'Calci' with minimum of one column and at least one row indicating the condition.
- The Criteria columns should not overlap the list of data.
- DCOUNTA() can be used to count the number of non-blank cells from a list of database that match a specified criteria.
