The COUNT IF function in Google Sheets is a useful tool that allows users to count the number of cells in a selected range that meet a specific criteria. This function can be used to quickly and accurately determine the quantity of data that meets a certain condition, such as counting the number of sales above a certain amount or the number of students who scored above a certain grade. By utilizing the COUNT IF function, users can efficiently analyze and organize data without the need for manual counting. This feature in Google Sheets is particularly helpful for businesses, educators, and students who need to track and summarize data in a spreadsheet.

We can use the following formula to count the number of TRUE values in the column:
=COUNTIF(A2:A11, TRUE)
