if you do not use the ">"& and just put in the cell reference, do you still
get the #Value in the function window, If so , you probably have a corrupted
program?
if it is OK,try < and = and see what you get.
you might be able to use a workaround of
=counta(C:C)-Countif(C:C,"<="&G1)
I also do not know why, but I occassionally have to put spaces around the &
for a fuction to work correctly.
