Mark,
Mea culpa ... I missed off a bracket. See Biff's reply

I have tried this toppers, it comes back with the result FALSE in the cell,
this is the formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(E25:E28<""),--(G25:G28="Abbey"),--(YEAR(F25:F28=2005)))

and the data

E F G
Dave 01/03/2005 Abbey
Gary 01/03/2006 Abbey
Jane 02/03/2005 Abbey
Gaz 05/03/2005 Abbey

I think this should return the result in my cell of 3

That's what the formula does ... selects year=2007 from a date field.

Did you try it?

Hi Toppers,

I have used the bottom formula and thats almost perfect, except the cell has
the complete date in it, so 2007 is only part of the cell, i.e my cell is
01/03/2007 so I need to pick the year only part of the date.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B100<""),--(MONTH(B2:B100=1)),--(YEAR(B2:B100=2007)))

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B100<""),--(C2:C100="Abbey"),--(YEAR(B2:B100=2007)))

It's better to put the parameters in cellS:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B100<""),--(C2:C100=X1),--(YEAR(B2:B100=X2)))

X1="Abbey"
X2=2007

I have a spreadsheet that has clients names and then the date that I
submitted the business for them i.e

Mr Jones 12/12/2006 Abbey
Mrs Smith 12/01/2007 Natwest

What is the best way to count all the submitted business in 1 month say for
January only. Also how would i count all the Abbey cases in say 2007, or 2006.

I need this as a formula so that I can populate graphes etc with it.
