Default conitif doesn't recognise time format? how to get round this?

david,
it seems it is counting everything after the 06:00 or 07:00 which is
what i tried to say on my last message.
Tom i have also tried your reply i have never used sumproduct before and
have had results within what i am looking for. i am still having some
difficulties but i have to go now till tomorrow afternoon.

thank you both for your help so far.

i need the result to be numbers/times = to 06:00 but not more than 07:00.
i am going through 24hrs worth of data and want to break it up into scan's
per 1hr

If you're struggling to debug your formula, split it up into manageable
chunks.
=COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&TIME(6,,)) gives you the number greater
than
or equal to 06:00
=COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&TIME(7,,)) gives you the number greater
than
or equal to 07:00
Which of those gives a number different from what you expected?

i am newish at excel and am still learning. i have changed that but it
gives
me "06/08/1902 00:00" as an answer? i change that to genral format and
it
changes to 949 which i know is way over what i should be looking for.
=COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&TIME(6,,))-COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&TIME(7,,))

So presumably you have changed "" to "=" ?

You could use

=COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,""&6/24)-COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&7/24)
or

=COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,""&TIME(6,,))-COUNTIF(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"="&TIME(7,,))I
am assuming that you have only times in the cells, not dates and
timestogether merely formatted as times.--David Biddulph"mavgn"

...i
am
tring to get excel to count the number of entries of certain times
anda
worksheet. but the format is time eg 06:15 and i want it to look
for
the
number of entries from "06". can anyone help.
=countif(mon!$D$3:$D$1500,"06*") is what i have got to so far but
itsbecause the details that it is looking at are in time format. I
dont
want to haveto manualy change all the times to text which would
work
but
takes to long.
