Thanks Biff I will try that, just to let every one know this can be done
with an formula array by entering this: =SUM(IF('Local Annual
Sales'!B4:B19=38991,IF('Local Annual Sales'!B4:B19<=39022,1,0),0)) then
pressing CRTL+SHFT+ENT which will put curly brackets around it. If you type
the curly brackets it will not work. the =DATEVALUE(01/10/2006) can be use
to determine the values between. Just thought I let you know how I fixed
it that night.

GREAT your =COUNTIF('Local Annual
Sales'!B4:B19,"=10/1/2006")-COUNTIF('Local Annual
Sales'!B4:B19,"10/31/2006") is much better and it works to.

Try one of these:

Use cells to hold your date range:

A1 = 10/1/2006
B1 = 10/31/2006

=COUNTIF(B4:B19,"="&A1)-COUNTIF(B4:B19,""&B1)

Or, with the dates hardcoded:

=COUNTIF(B4:B19,"=10/1/2006")-COUNTIF(B4:B19,"10/31/2006")

Format the cell as GENERAL or NUMBER
