Nick,
Sorry -- just forget what I just wrote - I just came back to look this over,
and I'm not half-way sure what I said is right or not, I'm nearly brain-dead
status..

Hi All,

At present I have a formula that counts the number of date entries in
a column.

=COUNT($AL$1000:$AL$5000,"<=today()")

I need to change it so that it counts the dates between today and the
last 3 months.

Can someone tell me how, I have tried all manner of configurations.

Many thanks

Joe
