Default Array formula using two columns and countif

1. No need to use datedif for days, a simple subtraction will do

=TODAY()-AQ17 (format as general not date)

2. You can use something like

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Current!J1:J1000="Value
A"),--(Current!AQ1:AQ1000=TODAY()-180))

obviously the formula won't work as is but I showed how it can be used
without using an extract column to create the days

That worked perfectly, thanks!

Trying to build just one more bit of functionality on it and make it
lookforward to a date, like the end of a month. The H column in the
Current
worksheet is a calculated age {formula I use is
=DATEDIF(AQ17,TODAY(),"D") }.
Would it be simpler jsut to add another column on that calculates the age
as
of a date and then point the forumla there instead of H, or can I imbed
this
into the formula as well?

Note that SUMPRODUCT doesn't work with complete columns, you have to
specify
a range.

Hello,

Having trouble getting Excel to compute a value based on two columns on
another sheet. What I need it to do is see if column A has the value I
specify, then look in column B and see if that date figure is greater
than
180 days, and then count it. So I might have 45 that meet criteria A,
but
then need to find items in that subset that meet criteria B.

My attempt was
=countif(if(COUNTIF(Current!J:J,"Value A",Current!H:H,"180"))) which

isn't
completing.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
