Countif with cell reference

[Guest]

Hi

Hope someone can help. Is there a way to count the amount of instances less
than a certain value, but to enter this value as a reference to a cell. For
example the following:

=COUNTA(C5:C1000)/COUNTIF(B5:B1000,">h3")

Does not work but if i type in the value of h3 it does. Is there no way to
leave it as h3 so I dont have to manually enter it many (many!) times over?

Thanks....

instead of ">h3" which will look for the text string "h3" use ">"&h3, thus


=COUNTA(C5:C1000)/COUNTIF(B5:B1000,">"&H3)

should work\\
