Unfortunately, I have tried both (and more).

The result remains the same. Also, if you ignore the semicolon, I really
proceded like in my original post. Gnumeric itself should know how to
construct the formula. ;-)

In the meantime, I have written two python functions, one for "count in
rows" and one fo "count in columns" as the ranges are not comfortable to
work with. These functions replace countif, at least in the current context.

As regards the missing countif in 1.12.1, I have posted the question to
the french Ubuntu forum. For the time, nobody has really answered in a
way which could clarify, if the error is specific to the Ubuntu-package
in 13.04.

I might try the same in the german and the english forums. Re-installing
from the resources of the Linux-distribution has not changed anything.

Good night,

Michael.
