If you have quite a few entries, you might consider using a Pivot Table:

First, make sure you have column headings: Data, Customer, etc

DataPivot Table
Use Excel List
Select your data range
Click the [Layout] button

ROW:
Drag the Date field here
Dbl-Click that field and set subtotals to None

Drag the Refunds field here (Col_K heading?)
Dbl-Click that field and set subtotals to None

DATA:
Set to Count of Refunds
Then Click the [OK] button

Select a place for your Pivot Table...done


Does that help?

hello... i am attempting to make a sprdsheet related to work on Excel 97 and
i need a cell to show how many items there are of a set type using to
arguments....

for example, my A:A column is date, and my K:K column is refunds, i need it
to count how many 'yes' values are showing in the refund column for a certain
date.

i can make it count 'yes' values, and i can make it count how many items on
a date but cant seem to get it to use both criteria to get a result.

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
