Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A38:A1000=A10),--(E38:E1000="yes"))

I am going to have a few of these type of questions, I think, unless I can
plough through this myself. The first formula needs to built like this:

In C10 the formula will look in E38:E1000 and count the number of "Yes"
that
correspond with the dates in A38:A1000, which date matches with A10.

I'll say it another way, in case I'm not clear. In A10 there's a date,
and
in A38:A1000 there are dates. In C10 I want to count the number of times
"Yes" appears throughout E38:E1000, where the date in A10 is found in
A38:A1000.

Whew! I know Excel can do it, but I'm at a loss in trying to come up with
this type of formula.

Thank you so much to whoever can figure this one out! Connie
