Hi,

I have a long list of records all on the same worksheet. In column d are
the categories I want to search on (e.g. apples). I am tryoing to found out
how many apples between 01/01/2008 and 31/01/2008. I have tried

=SUMPRODUCT((D1:D999)=1/1/2008)*((D1:D999)<=31/12/2008)*(G1:G999="apples")

This returns 0 even though there are apples in column g between these dates.

Can somebody please help?

Best regards

Steve
