Bob - thanks for you prompt response - I'm still having problems, do you
think it's how I've formatted the cells with the dates in? I've got them so
that however the user inputs the date it comes up "01-Apr-05" format?

If you are just looking for a month, you can use

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A1000)=4))

or if there can be multiple yers, then

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A1000)=2005),--(MONTH(A2:A1000)=4))

or

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(A2:A1000,"yyyymm")="200504")

In column A I have dates in the following format;
01-Apr-05 right through until the end of March 2006
On a different sheet in my workbook I want to summarise the information
by
counting the number of appointments between certain dates to get monthly
totals. I just don't know how to say that I want all dates between
01-Apr-05
until say 30-Apr-05p and so on. Is it possible to do this - the formula I
was trying with was;
=COUNT(IF('Master
Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000=DATEVALUE("01/04/2005:30/04/2005"),1,0))
But this isn't working!
