I think this is what you mean

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(INDIRECT($C$5&"!$e$1:$e$5000"))),
--(INDIRECT($C$5&"!$e$1:$e$5000")36000),
--(INDIRECT($C$5&"!$D$1:$D$5000")<"Threat found!"))

THIS IS MY FORMULA


=SUMPRODUCT((--(INDIRECT($C$5&"!$e$1:$e$5000")36000)*(--(INDIRECT($C$5&"!$D
$1:$D$5000")<"Threat found!"))))

e1:e5000 is date
d1:d5000 is for expression, where mostly statement "Threat found!" will be
there.

Now I need to get count of records where there is date in e1:e5000 and
where there is no string expression "Threat found!"

The above formula is counting the title in e1 "Definitions" and in future
I
may have some other string between e1:e5000, I need to validate only dates
between e1:e5000. I have put 36000 thinking that I can omit other than
date
but "definition" value turns out to be true, so it is taken in to count

Kindly advise and thanks in advance.
