# NQL countif()

The `countif()` function counts the number of rows that match specified criteria. It accepts extra arguments, the conditions that determine which rows to include. Provide one or more conditions using [bitwise operators](/platform/understanding-key-data-platform-concepts/nexthink-query-language-nql/nql-operators/nql-bitwise-operators.md).

The following query returns a ratio of poor calls. It includes two conditions that filter rows with either poor audio or poor video quality.

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```
collaboration.sessions during past 24h
| summarize ratio_of_poor_calls = countif(session.audio.quality = poor or session.video.quality = poor) / count() by connection_type
```

{% endcode %}

| Connection type | Ratio of poor calls |
| --------------- | ------------------- |
| Ethernet        | 0                   |
| Wi-Fi           | 0.01                |
| Cellular        | 0.13                |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nexthink.com/platform/understanding-key-data-platform-concepts/nexthink-query-language-nql/nql-functions/nql-countif.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
