Another countif question...

[olicowdrey]

I have a range of data for example:

1
1
1
1
2
2
2
3
3
2
2
2
1

and i want to have a total of how many times the number has gone up and how many it has gone down. So in the above example it would be Up=2 and Down =2. The number range is only 1->4

I have tried: =IF(AND(A1="1", A2="2"),"1","") and then would have to nest multiple formulas but i cant even get that to work. Is there a more elegant way?

Thanks as ever
