Hi Judy

That would work fine, substituting your dates in the formula.

You could also enter the date for the month that you require in a cell e.g.
in C1 enter 01 May 2008, and with your dates in column A of Sheet1, then
=SUMPRODUCT((MONTH($A$1:$A$1000)=MONTH($C$1))*(DAY ($A$1:$A$1000)<16)*($A$1:$A$1000)<""))

Change the ranges to suit.
You only need to alter the Date in C1 when you want the figures for another
Month

In my case i have a range for a given month on a spreadsheet and I want a
tally of timely received applications indicated on a summary spreadsheet,
the
application is timely if the date received is between the 1st and the 15th
of
the given month, will this formula subbing out the dates each month work?
Right now I am waiting until the 16th of each month to enter the number of
applications received manually and I want to automate the process.

Thank you for your assistance.

This may cause problems in locales that use non-USA date styles. Better
to
use the DATE function to create the dates.

=COUNTIF(A1:A20,"<"&DATE(2006,12,31))-COUNTIF(A1:A20,"<"&DATE(2006,1,1))
