Did you try the suggestion I gave to the same question that you asked in
your previous posting to this newsgroup? I'm repeating here in case Peo has
some thoughts about it....

I don't know if it will make a difference internationally, but try setting
up your start and end dates like this...

Start Date:
=DATE(2007,10,1)

End Date:
=DATE(2007,10,31)

instead of using text strings and see if that works.

I did try the 2007-10-01 and 2007-10-31 format but it did not work

I would have thought it would have worked since it is dependant on the
regional setting of the OS,
not an expert on Excel with regards to China or Japan though

Here are 2 other options

start date = 39356
end date = 39386

(these use the date serial number)

start date = 2007-10-01
end date = 2007-10-31

If this doesn't work, post back. I am somewhat acquainted with a Japanese
Excel developer
and I could ask him if this doesn't work

colums

wiht

Japan

=AND(C8=DATE(2007,10,1),C8<=DATE(2007,10,31))
