What's in F2:F463?

I put 2004 in a few cells and your first formula worked fine.

If you really have dates, then you could use:

=sumproduct(--(year(f2:f463)=2004))
to get the count.

I'm using a COUNTIF to find how many times the year 2004 occurs in a column.
I've tried the function several different ways, and always come up with zero.

=COUNTIF(F2:F463,"=2004")
=COUNTIF(F2:F463,"=*2004")

Help!!
