How to use Excel COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria

The tutorial explains how to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF formulas with multiple criteria in Excel based on AND as well as OR logic. You will find a number of examples for different data types - numbers, dates, text, wildcard characters, non-blank cells and more.

Of all Excel functions, COUNTIFS and COUNTIF are probably most often mixed up because they look very much alike and both are purposed for counting cells based on the specified criteria.

The difference is that COUNTIF is designed for counting cells with a single condition in one range, whereas COUNTIFS can evaluate different criteria in the same or in different ranges. The aim of this tutorial is to demonstrate different approaches and help you choose the most efficient formula for each particular task.

Excel COUNTIFS function - syntax and usage

The Excel COUNTIFS function counts cells across multiple ranges based on one or several conditions. The function is available in Excel 365, 2021, 2019, 2016, 2013, Excel 2010, and Excel 2007, so you can use the below examples in any Excel version.

COUNTIFS syntax

The syntax of the COUNTIFS function is as follows:

COUNTIFS(criteria_range1, criteria1, [criteria_range2, criteria2]…)
  • criteria_range1 (required) - defines the first range to which the first condition (criteria1) shall be applied.
  • criteria1 (required) - sets the condition in the form of a number, cell reference, text string, expression or another Excel function. The criteria defines which cells shall be counted and can be expressed as 10, "<=32", A6, "sweets".
  • [criteria_range2, criteria2]… (optional) - these are additional ranges and their associated criteria. You can specify up to 127 range/criteria pairs in your formulas.

In fact, you don't have to remember the syntax of the COUNTIF function by heart. Microsoft Excel will display the function's arguments as soon as you start typing; the argument you are entering at the moment is highlighted in bold. The syntax of the Excel COUNTIFS function

Excel COUNTIFS - things to remember!

  1. You can use the COUNTIFS function in Excel to count cells in a single range with a single condition as well as in multiple ranges with multiple conditions. If the latter, only those cells that meet all of the specified conditions are counted.
  2. Each additional range must have the same number of rows and columns as the first range (criteria_range1 argument).
  3. Both contiguous and non-contiguous ranges are allowed.
  4. If the criteria is a reference to an empty cell, the COUNTIFS function treats it as a zero value (0).
  5. You can use the wildcard characters in criteria - asterisk (*) and question mark (?). See this example for full details.

How to use COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria in Excel

Below you will find a number of formula examples that demonstrate how to use the COUNTIFS and COUNTIF functions in Excel to evaluate multiple conditions.

How to count cells with multiple criteria (AND logic)

This scenario is the easiest one, since the COUNTIFS function in Excel is designed to count only those cells for which all of the specified conditions are TRUE. We call it the AND logic, because Excel's AND function works this way.

Formula 1. COUNTIFS formula with multiple criteria

Suppose you have a product list like shown in the screenshot below. You want to get a count of items that are in stock (value in column B is greater than 0) but have not been sold yet (value is column C is equal to 0).

The task can be accomplished by using this formula:

=COUNTIFS(B2:B7,">0", C2:C7,"=0")

And the count is 2 ("Cherries" and "Lemons"): Counting cells with multiple criteria based on AND logic

Formula 2. COUNTIFS formula with two criteria

When you want to count items with identical criteria, you still need to supply each criteria_range / criteria pair individually.

For example, here's the right formula to count items that have 0 both in column B and column C:

=COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$7,"=0", $C$2:$C$7,"=0")

This COUNTIFS formula returns 1 because only "Grapes" have "0" value in both columns. COUNTIFS formula with identical criteria

Using a simpler formula with a single criteria_range like COUNTIFS(B2:C7,"=0") would yield a different result - the total count of cells in the range B2:C7 containing a zero (which is 4 in this example).

How to count cells with multiple criteria (OR logic)

As you have seen in the above examples, counting cells that meet all of the specified criteria is easy because the COUNTIFS function is designed to work this way.

But what if you want to count cells for which at least one of the specified conditions is TRUE, i.e. based on the OR logic? Overall, there are two ways to do this - by adding up several COUNTIF formulas or using a SUM COUNTIFS formula with an array constant.

Formula 1. Add up two or more COUNTIF or COUNITFS formulas

In the table below, supposing you want to count orders with the "Cancelled" and "Pending" status. To have it doen, you can simply write 2 regular Countif formulas and add up the results:

=COUNTIF($C$2:$C$11,"Cancelled") + COUNTIF($C$2:$C$11,"Pending") Counting cells that meet any of the specified criteria

In case each of the functions is supposed to evaluate more than one condition, use COUNTIFS instead of COUNTIF. For example, to get the count of "Cancelled" and "Pending" orders for "Apples" use this formula:

=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $C$2:$C$11,"Cancelled") + COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $C$2:$C$11,"Pending") Another formula to count cells with multiple criteria and OR logic

Formula 2. SUM COUNTIFS with an array constant

In situations when you have to evaluate a lot of criteria, the above approach is not the best way to go because your formula would grow too big in size. To perform the same calculations in a more compact formula, list all of your criteria in an array constant, and supply that array to the criteria argument of the COUNTIFS function. To get the total count, embed COUNTIFS inside the SUM function, like this:

SUM(COUNTIFS(range,{"criteria1","criteria2","criteria3",…}))

In our sample table, to count orders with the status "Cancelled" or "Pending" or "In transit", the formula would go as follows:

=SUM(COUNTIFS($C$2:$C$11, {"cancelled", "pending", "in transit"})) A more compact formula to count cells with multiple criteria and OR logic

In a similar manner, you can count cells based on two or more criteria_range / criteria pairs. For instance, to get the number of "Apples" orders that are "Cancelled" or "Pending" or "In transit", use this formula:

=SUM(COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11,"apples",$C$2:$C$11,{"cancelled","pending","in transit"})) Counting cells with multiple criteria_range / criteria pairs and OR logic

You can find a few more ways to count cells with OR logic in this tutorial: Excel COUNTIF and COUNTIFS with OR conditions.

How to count numbers between 2 specified numbers

By and large, COUNTIFS formulas for numbers fall into 2 categories - based on several conditions (explained in the above examples) and between the two values you specify. The latter can be accomplished in two ways - by using the COUNTIFS function or by subtracting one COUNTIF from another.

Formula 1. COUNTIFS to count cells between two numbers

To find out how many numbers between 5 and 10 (not including 5 and 10) are contained in cells C2 through C10, use this formula:

=COUNTIFS(C2:C10,">5", C2:C10,"<10") A COUNTIFS formula to count numbers between X and Y

To include 5 and 10 in the count, use the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to" operators:

=COUNTIFS(B2:B10,">=5", B2:B10,"<=10")

Formula 2. COUNTIF formulas to count numbers between X and Y

The same result can be achieved by subtracting one Countif formula from another. The first one counts how many numbers are greater than the lower bound value (5 in this example). The second formula returns the count of numbers that are greater than the upper bound value (10 in this case). The difference between the first and second number is the result you are looking for.

  • =COUNTIF(C2:C10,">5")-COUNTIF(C2:C10,">=10") - counts how many numbers greater than 5 and less than 10 are in the range C2:C10. This formula will return the same count as shown in the screenshot above.
  • =COUNTIF(C2:C10, ">=5")-COUNTIF(C2:C10, ">10") - the formula counts how many numbers between 5 and 10 are in the range C2:C10, including 5 and 10.

How to use cell references in COUNTIFS formulas

When using logical operators such as ">", "<", "<=" or ">=" together with cell references in your Excel COUNTIFS formulas, remember to enclose the operator in "double quotes" and
add an ampersand (&) before a cell reference to construct a text string.

In a sample dataset below, let's count "Apples" orders with amount greater than $200. With criteria_range1 in cells A2:A11 and criteria_range2 in B2:B11, you can use this formula:

=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, "Apples", $B$2:$B$11, ">200")

Or, you can input your criteria values in certain cells, say F1 and F2, and reference those cells in your formula:

=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11, $F$1, $B$2:$B$11, ">"&$F$2)

Please notice the use of absolute cell references both in the criteria and criteria_range arguments, which prevents the formula from being broken when copied to other cells. Using cell references in COUNTIFS formulas

For more information about the use of an ampersand in COUNTIF and COUNTIFS formulas, please see Excel COUNTIF - frequently asked questions.

How to use COUNTIFS with wildcard characters

In Excel COUNTIFS formulas, you can use the following wildcard characters:

  • Question mark (?) - matches any single character, use it to count cells starting and/or ending with certain characters.
  • Asterisk (*) - matches any sequence of characters, you use it to count cells containing a specified word or a character(s) as part of the cell's contents.

Tip. If you want to count cells with an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) before an asterisk or question mark.

Now let's see how you can use a wildcard char in real-life COUNTIFS formulas in Excel. Suppose, you have a list of projects in column A. You wish to know how many projects are already assigned to someone, i.e. have any name in column B. And because we are learning how to use the COUNTIFS function with multiple criteria, let's add a second condition - the End Date in column D should also be set.

Here is the formula that works a treat:

=COUNTIFS(B2:B10,"*",D2:D10,"<>"&""))

Please note, you cannot use a wildcard character in the 2nd criteria because you have dates rather that text values in column D. That is why, you use the criteria that finds non-blank cells: "<>"&"" The COUNTIFS formula to count entries containing any text in one column and non-blank cells in another column.

COUNTIFS and COUNTIF with multiple criteria for dates

The COUNTIFS and COUNTIF formulas you use for dates are very much similar to the above formulas for numbers.

Example 1. Count dates in a specific date range

To count the dates that fall in a certain date range, you can also use either a COUNTIFS formula with two criteria or a combination of two COUNTIF functions.

For example, the following formulas count the number of dates in cells C2 through C10 that fall between 1-Jun-2014 and 7-Jun-2014, inclusive:

=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, ">=6/1/2014", C2:C9, "<=6/7/2014")

=COUNTIF(C2:C9, ">=6/1/2014") - COUNTIF(C2:C9, ">6/7/2014") The COUNTIF formula with 2 conditions to count dates in a specific date range

Example 2. Count dates with multiple conditions

In the same manner, you can use a COUNTIFS formula to count the number of dates in different columns that meet 2 or more conditions. For instance, the below formula will find out how many products were purchased after the 20th of May and delivered after the 1st of June:

=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, ">5/1/2014", D2:D9, ">6/7/2014") The COUNTIF formula to count dates with multiple conditions

Example 3. Count dates with multiple conditions based on the current date

You can use Excel's TODAY() function in combination with COUNTIF to count dates based on the current date.

For example, the following COUNTIF formula with two ranges and two criteria will tell you how many products have already been purchased but not delivered yet.

=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, "<"&TODAY(), D2:D9, ">"&TODAY()) The COUNTIF formula to count dates with multiple conditions based on the current date

This formula allows for many possible variations. For instance, you can tweak it to count how many products were purchased more than a week ago and are not delivered yet:

=COUNTIFS(C2:C9, "<="&TODAY()-7, D2:D9, ">"&TODAY())

This is how you count cells with multiple criteria in Excel. I hope you will find these examples helpful. Anyway, I thank you for reading and hope to see you on our blog next week!

  1. =SUM(COUNTIF(B2:G2,{"TWG","DEA","FBI","Audit"})*{1,2,3,4})

    I am using this formula to assign # values to each text option. So TWG=1, DEA=2, etc. These are trips my company does and the amount of hours each trip is. I am attempting to track how many total hours each colleague has done.

    So when I plug in any of those text options in mu table tracking each person's trips, it assigns it a # value and adds up those values in the last column to give me the person's total hours. It works easily, but I don't want to have to keep updating the formula when adding new trip/hour combo (text/# value) .

    Is there a way I can put a range of cell values for the criteria and the # values in the above formula? This way I can have a separate table and every time I add a row containing a new trip/hour combo (text/#value) it updates the formula.

    • Hello!
      Write your trips in column A. In columns B and C, write down all the possible travel options and the corresponding number of hours for each of them.
      Enter the following formula in cell D1 and then copy it down along the column:

      =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$200,B1)*C1

      I hope it’ll be helpful.

  2. I'm have a table with as follows:
    Item No. --- Sales Order
    12345 --- ABCD
    54321 --- ABCD
    12345 --- EFGH
    54321 --- IJKL

    What I'm trying to accomplish is COUNTIFS Item No. where Sales Orders Match.
    In this case it would be 2, lines 1,2. It's a pretty huge dataset so I was trying to utilize a matrix array of item no x item no and populate. Any thoughts on how this can be accomplished?

  3. Hello Team,

    Have an interesting problem that we require some help with. We have a daily delivery schedule sheet that comprises of multiple texts with quantity in a single cell. Is there a way to do COUNTIF formula to extract these data? Some of these data do consist of strikethrough data that shouldn't be taken into account.

    Also, is there a way to send screenshots so that you will be able to understand the question?

    Thank you in advance!

  4. Hi all,

    Could you please help me to find a formula to count the number of unique values only in one column with a criteria in a another column. Example: There is a column with ID numbers for birds but there are some duplicates (these records must stay in the sheet) and there is a column with a year for when the bird census was done. We need to calculate how many birds with unique id (excluding duplicates) were recorded in Year1, then in Year2 and so on.

    Grateful for your assistance.

  5. I have a data set where respondents are allowed to select multiple options (A, B, C, D, E .. etc)

    My formula "=countifs($F$2:$F$120, "A", $C$2:$C$120, "Yes")" only shows respondents who only choose "A", but what I want to count are respondents who chose "A" and other options as well.

    Would greatly appreciate your help!

    • Hi!
      If all selected options are written in one cell, then you can use the SUMPRODUCT function:

      =SUMPRODUCT(--(C1:C120="Yes"), --(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("A",F1:F120))))

      If this is not what you wanted, please describe the problem in more detail.

  6. I have a workbook with two tables (A,B). The table I am working in, (A), has descriptions in Column A (Discrepancies found) like:
    "1.06. The instrument has been preset"
    Table B has headings of Team and several Section x columns. Under each heading is a team name and multiple selections for each Section x for each row. So the Section comment may have more than one entry in each row. I also need to strip the first 6 characters of what is in Column A table A. I use:
    =COUNTIFS(Tbl_B[[Team]:[Section 6 Comment]],"*"&MID([@[Discrepancies found]],6,80)&"*") which finds and counts the comment in any of the Section columns for each row of Table fine.
    But, I need to count the number of times "The instrument has been preset" occur in each row for those Section columns and Team = "Outgoing". When I try:
    =COUNTIFS(Tbl_B[[Team]:[Section 6 Comment]],{"*"&MID([@[Discrepancies found]],6,80)&"*","Outgoing"})
    I get an formula error which highlights the second quotation mark from the first asterisk {"*"&MID([@[Discrepancies found]],6,80)&"*" ...}
    I have also tried to look across the Sections and Team, but it returns a #Value error:
    =COUNTIFS(Tbl_B[[Section 1: Checking Instrument / Customer Settings]:[Section 6 Comment]],"*"&MID([@[Discrepancies found]],6,80)&"*",Tbl_B[Team],"Outgoing")

    • Figured this out. You can not combine multiple columns with a single column in the Countifs statement. Narrowed to each column and now I can look up multiple items per column. But I loose searching the whole sheet, so I split Table A for each section.

    • Figured this out. Thanks.

    • Hi!
      It is very difficult to understand a formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets. I can't check the formula that contains unique references to your workbook worksheets, sorry.
      Give a simpler explanation of your problem. Give an example of the source data and the desired result.

  7. Hi, fisrt I have to say that this posts are SO helpful!

    I have a question in the example "Formula 2. SUM COUNTIFS with an array constant" how could I have the count of two different values (apples and oranges) e.g. =SUM(COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$11,"apples","oranges",$C$2:$C$11,{"cancelled","pending","in transit"}))

    Thank you!

  8. Hello! I have read through this article a few times and can't figure this out. In my purchases report, say we have the month (ignore the year part) in one column and the item we purchased in another column. Each row is say, a purchase. So I want to know how many keyboards purchased in the month of June. I need a formula that will bring in that information. It will count how many keyboards from one column match up with June in the month column to bring me a count. Can you please assist? I have been working on this one for a while! I have a feeling I have to have multiple commands in the same formula but have come up short.

    Thanks!

    • Hi!
      Have you tried the ways described in this blog post? Use the COUNTIFS function with two criteria: month number and product name.

  9. Thanks this has helped keep up the great work.

    I was wondering if there was a way to do what I'm trying with one formula instead of multiple?

    I am formatting one cell "A1" to indicate if I have any one of the specific items listed more than once in a range.

    I have used the below and it does work just wanted to know if there is an easier way with one formula?

    The range will have items that are similar like apple or apples2 I'm not interested in those just the ones below and need to know there is more than 1.

    formatting rule1
    =COUNTIF(range,"apples1")>1

    formatting rule2
    =COUNTIF(range,"apples3")>1

    formatting rule3
    =COUNTIF(range,"apples4")>1

    List example 1
    apples1
    apples3
    apple
    apple
    apples4
    so nothing of interest is = >1
    Do not highlight A1

    List example 2
    apples1
    apples3
    apples2
    apples2
    apples2
    apples1
    apples4
    so
    something of interest apples1+apples1= >1
    Highlight A1

    • Hello!
      If I understand the problem correctly, you can use an IF function with multiple conditions.

      =IF(OR(COUNTIF(range,”apples1″)>1,COUNTIF(range,”apples3″)>1, COUNTIF(range,”apples4”)>1),TRUE,FALSE)

      or

      =(COUNTIF(range,”apples1″)>1)+(COUNTIF(range,”apples3″)>1)+ (COUNTIF(range,”apples4”)>1)

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  10. Hi Team,

  12. Hello Team

    I have a query regarding CountIfs function for multiple criteria Selection

    Here University Name & Session came from a another tab,
    When I select the university name as Surrey and Select Session as FA22 so the result will be "2"

    Using this Formulla: =sum(COUNTIFS(SFK!$O$8:$O$500,$M$5,SFK!$J$8:$J$500,{$N$4}))
    (Sheet Name=SFK , University Name Range=O8:O500 , University Name Selection=M5, Session Range= J8:J500 , Session Selection= N4)

    Example
    University Name FA22
    Surrey 2

    Or
    When I select the university name as Surrey and Select Session as SP23 so the result will be "1"
    University Name SP23
    Surrey 1

    These two examples are OK for me but the query is " When I select University Name and want all session as a result will be "3" How can I formulate this? I want to Select All Session to get total result also.

    Thanks in Advance

    • Hello!
      If I understood you correctly, then the second criterion can be excluded from the formula.

      =COUNTIFS(SFK!$O$8:$O$500,$M$5)

  13. We use a monthly schedule to record tasks performed by person. The schedule is a basic grid that has the day of each month in row 1, the task abbreviation in column A and the applicable persons ID is listed in cells B2:AF39.
    The second spreadsheet has the full description of each task listed in column A and the person's ID listed in row 1.
    I need to count the number of times the ID is listed per task aligning with the ID in cell B1 continuing for all rows/columns.
    The formula is in a tab labeled "TasksbyPerson"
    =COUNTIFS('MonthlySchedule'!$A:$A,"SMMC 3",'MonthlySchedule'!B:K39,B1)

    • Hello!
      Range B:K39 is not possible. In the COUNTIF and COUNTIFS functions, all ranges must be the same size. These functions cannot solve your problem. Use something like this formula with the SUMPRODUCT function.

      =SUMPRODUCT(--((B2:K39="persons ID")*(A2:A39="SMMC 3")))

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

  14. =COUNTIF(Table3[DATABASE_ROLE],"Primary")-[@[Month Completed]]

    What is the purpose of the "@" in this subtraction formula?

  15. Thank you for the tutorial. I have made my school mark sheet through this.

  16. Hello Ablebits team,

    I wonder if you could help me. I have a table showing who attended each of our monthly meetings.

    I am new to COUNTIF and COUNTIFS and well as fairly new to using tables but would like to use them as the formulas seems to be a little more clearer to read once I get the hang of the syntax. I am not sure if COUNTIF and COUNTIFS can be used in a table

    I am counting the number attending and the number of apologies for each meeting. Those I can do with a simple i.e.

    Num Present uses "=COUNTIF(Table1[Jun-20],"y")"
    Number Apologies (and on leave) uses "=COUNTIF(Table1[Jun-20],"A") +COUNTIF(Table1[Jun-20],"L")"

    For the latter I tried to combine the criteria using COUNTIFS i.e.
    "=COUNTIFS(Table1[Jun-20],"=A", Table1[Jun-20],"=L")" but that didn't work.

    My main problem is that I want to count the number of people eligible to attend any particular meeting.
    The reason for that is that over time some people may have been employed after the date for that month's record or may have left their job before that meeting.

    I tried to do this by comparing a start date and end date with the date of the meeting. I had a problem because I was using the meeting date as a column heading and realised that I can't compare date values to a column heading text. I overcame that by putting the month date in a separate row above the table headings.

    I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance on how to create functional formula to do this.

    My table structure is as follows (which you can paste into a text file and open it as CSV.
    The table is between rows 5 and 14, with row 5 as the heading.

    Attendance at monthly meetings,,Total Available,0,
    ,,Present,3,
    ,,Apologies/Leave,2,
    Put Date in this row and label in the one below so we can use it in formulas,,,12-May-20,

  17. I want to count a column of criteria where V=1 and v=.5 and the total would be the # of Vs and v's combined, but can't figure out how to make the formula have v=.5 instead of 1, as the countifs function counts the numberof cells not the value of the cell data.

    Is there a function that will essentially add up all the V's and v's in a column for a combined total ( eg: there are 4 Vs and 2vs for a total of 5. I want to basically do a sum where V=1 and v=.5

  18. Greetings: my organization uses a scheduling calendar that can export information to Excel such that calendar dates are populated along the x-axis and individual names are on the Y-axis. Each cell will be assigned a text value that represents the shift assignment for the day for the individual designated on the Y-axis.

    I’m trying to create a count of days for an entire year, for each individual, which correlates the assignment designated “A” with any number of assignments, call them “B,C,D,E” that occurs the calendar day immediately BEFORE assignment “A”. Only one assignment for the preceding day “B, C, D OR E) would need to be found to increase the count. How could I write an appropriate formula which would count the cells where assignment (B,C,D OR E) is followed by assignment “A” ? Would it be easier if the data was transposed such that the individual populate the X axis and dates the Y axis?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    • Hello!
      If the data for a person is recorded in the range B2:N2, then the count of the cells according to your conditions can be calculated using the formula

      =SUM(((TRANSPOSE(B2:N2)="B")+ (TRANSPOSE(B2:N2)="С")+ (TRANSPOSE(B2:N2)="D")+ (TRANSPOSE(B2:N2)="E"))* (TRANSPOSE(C2:O2)="A"))

      I hope my advice will help you solve your task.

    I want to be able to count how many of the specific values F:F appear in any given month.

    I can count each specific value F;F with the formula =COUNTIF('2022'!F:F,"*51/1 assault*")

    I can count the total number of values F:F appearing between two dates with the formula =COUNTIFS('2022'!H:H,">="&DATE(2022,2,1),'2022'!H:H,"<="&DATE(2022,2,28))

    But I just can't work out how to count a particular value in any given month.

    Can you help me?

    • Hi!
      Try to merge formulas:

      =COUNTIFS(‘2022′!H:H,”>=”&DATE(2022,2,1),’2022’!H:H,”<="&DATE(2022,2,28),‘2022’!F:F,”*51/1 assault*”)

    My manager asked me about the excel sheet if we can fix .

    the vacant bed which highlighted in green color in the excel sheet it is the result of difference of night shift census (J25) minus Total bed capacity bed(C25) minus total blocked bed (T25) . however he need if the night shift not filled the result will be day shift census minus Total bed capacity bed(C25) minus total blocked bed (T25) . If both them filled will be calculated only the night shift census (J25) minus Total bed capacity bed(C25) minus total blocked bed (T25) .

    How we can do that in excel sheet

    Hoping for your help in this matter .

    Thank you very much

    Best Regards

    • Hello!
      Unfortunately, I could not understand your conditions for counting. Could you please describe it in more detail? Give an example of the source data and the expected result.

    • Hi!
      Your description doesn’t give me a complete understanding of your task. You did not provide the addresses of all the cells, but the formula could be something like this:

      =IF(J25<>"",J25-C25-T25,A25-C25-T25)

      I recommend that you carefully study the article - How to use IF function in Excel
