Thank you, That worked perfectly and very simply. I was trying to complicate
the formula too much.

I have a list of over 5000 birth dates i.e: 2/7/1975. I need to count the
number of times a cell has a date in a date range of years. For example I
need to know how many were born in the years 1927 thruogh 1937.
