I thought you were done for the day.<g

Looks like you're trying to duplicate Frank's old habits (God rest his
soul).

Thanks RD.

You can try this:

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Charged",CaseData!$B A$2:$BA$1000)))*(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000=DATE(2006, 1,1))*(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000<=DATE(2006,3,31)))

That worked, but I am still trying to find out how to put a wildcard
into
the
formlua to look at anything beginning with charged.... charged
VOCSL1
or
charged VOCSL3 or someother charged.....

--(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000<=--"2006-03-31"))

(the asterisks have been replaced with a comma (use your list
separator).)

Personally, I'd be more explicit with the dates:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(CaseData!$BA$2:$BA$1000="RIEP"),
--(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000=date(2006,1,1)),
--(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000<=date(2006,03,31))

I don't trust excel to get the ymd correct.

I have a column (c) with dates...I have column (ba) with text data,

RIEP sometimes Charged with (some type of crime). I want to have

add

1/1/2006 -
3/31/2006). I am able to do this with the following formula. I

excel to add up the occurances of Charged. I have tried to insert

what ever....

=SUMPRODUCT(--(CaseData!$BA$2:$BA$1000="RIEP")*--(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000=--"2006-01-01")*--(CaseData!$C$2:$C$1000<=--"2006-03-31"))
