You can add conditions to the sumproduct formula such as

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A1:A100)=2004),--(--B1:B100=5))

or you could dump some of the first part and use;

=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A1:A100)=2004)*(--B1:B100=5))

This sounds good but in some cases, I want to count how many cells in
Column
B contain the number 5 if the year in Column A is 2004. So in my example
ther would be 1. So I guess there would be a condition for Column A and
Column B

One way

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A10)=2004))

Hello,

Here is my issue. I have a bunch of dates in one column that may have
different years. In another column I have the data that I need to
count.
What I want to do is count the data by year. Here's my example to
clarify:

Column A Column B
2/10/2003 8
3/1/2004 5
1/4/2004 4
5/4/2002 10

I want to count how many answers there in Column B that were entered
in the
year 2003 (from Column A). In this case, there's 1. Then I want to
count
how many answers there are in Column B that were entered in the year
2004
(from Column A). In this case, there's 2. Etc.
Please let me know if you can help me out with this!
Thanks!!!
