I have a column with dates. I need a count of how many of these date
are older than today's date. I tried:

=COUNTIF(L7:L155,"-(=TODAY())30")

and it returns 0

Anyone able to help here, please?

Thanks
Jonathan

Try this, Column A has dates, Column B calculates the number of days ("d")
using the Dateif Function and Column C counts it if it is greater than 30
days. Note the brackets "{}" which are entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter at the
end of the fourmula. Another variation of the formula in Column C that
works is {=COUNTIF(B:B,"30")}.
A B C
=DATEDIF(B1,NOW(),"d") {=COUNTIF(B1:B9,"30")}
