Hi!

For question 1:

Just add another array to the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A100)=3)*(YEAR(A1:A100)=2005 )*(UPPER(B1:B100)="A")*(UPPER
(C1:C100="B")))

For question 2:

The "*" is the multiplication operator. What the formula is doing is
multiplying all the arrays together like this:

TRUE * FALSE * FALSE * FALSE = 0
TRUE * TRUE * TRUE * TRUE =1
FALSE * FALSE * FALSE * FALSE = 0

Then summing the result of the multiplication to arrive at a count.

I had a similar need and the this formula worked great. I do have a couple
of
questions:

1. Can you have the formula look at two conditions to meet before it
counts. Were there would be (UPPER (B1:B100="A") and (UPPER (C1:C100="B")?

2. The "*" seems to be a form of a seperator, is that correct? It seems to
me that it's similar to using commas, am I correct in that assumption?

Sorry - misprint. The formulae should read as follows:

=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A100)=3)*(YEAR(A1:A100)=2005 )*(UPPER(B1:B100)="A"))

or


=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=DATE(2005,3,1))*(A1:A100<=DA TE(2005,3,31))*(UPPER(B1:B100)="A"))KL"KL"

.. . Hi Diane1477, Try
something like this:
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(A1:A100)=3)*(YEAR(A1:A100)=2005 )*(UPPER(A1:A100)="A"))
or=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100=DATE(2005,3,1))*(A1:A100 <=DATE(2005,3,31))*(UPPER(A1:A100)="A"))

in ...I
need to calculate the number of times an item appears within a
daterange. Another words, if column A is contains my dates ranging from
1/1/05 -7/1/05 and column B contains various symbols (ie A, B, C etc.),
I need tocalculate how many A's appear between 3/1/05 - 3/31/05. Is
ther a formula to use?Or is there a way to do a combination IF/THEN
statement? (If Column A isbtwn 3/1/05-3/31/05 then count "A" that
appear in column B) I
am using Excel2000. PLEASE HELP. My brain is goingo n overload!
