Ignoring cells in a countif formula

Hey!
I am trying to see percentage of "true" cells in a column, but I want to ignore a few rows/cells along the way. Like for example I want to see which in the following are true (B67:B74) but NOT count with (B71:B72).

Before excluding B71:B72 I am using =(Countif(B67:B74,True)/COUNTA(B67:B74)), which gives the result I want with a percentage changing as I tick or untick a cell for true/false.

Then I've experimented and realized that =(COUNTIF(AND(B67:B69,B72:B74), True)/Counta(AND(B67:B69,B72:B74))) works fairly fine in the first step of avoiding B70 & B71, but then it doesn't calculate the percentages of the resuming cells' "true".

Could someone help me with what the formula should look like for this issue?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Try using this formula =(COUNTIF(B67:B74, TRUE) + COUNTIF(B72:B74, TRUE))/(COUNTA(B67:B74) + COUNTA(B72:B74))

= sum of true (whole range)- sum of true (excl. range)
then divide to
rows count (whole range)- rows count (excl. range)

Then should be:

Code:
=(SUMPRODUCT(--B67:B74)-SUMPRODUCT(--B70:B71))/(ROWS(B67:B74)-ROWS(B70:B71))

Thank you both! Versonol's formula =(COUNTIF(B67:B69, TRUE) + COUNTIF(B72:B74, TRUE))/(COUNTA(B67:B69) + COUNTA(B72:B74)) got the result I was looking for, so I will stick to this one!

Have a good one!
