I need to get a count based on multiple criteria. I need to count if a
certain text value occurs in a column, but only if it meets a seperate
date
criteria.

I have a data entry page with a vendor column and and month column. I want
to count how many times a vendor is listed in a certain month. I have
tried
Count and Count IF formulas with out luck.
