Hi,

I am trying to get a total number of records based on criteria in two
different columns. The columns a Date closed (data enetered as
YYYY/MM/DD)
and status (where I am looking for "CLOSED", "REGISTERED" and "RENEWED").

I want to count the number of files that have been closed, registered and
renewed in a specific month of a specific year, the day is irrelivant.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
