I have 2 columns:
Date Person
10/31/08 SP
11/01/08 JS
11/15/08 SS
11/18/08 SP

I need to count the number of occurances of the person within a specific
date range. More specifically, how many times did SP occur during the month
of November? I have tried with Countif and Sumproduct formulas and can't
seem to get it right. Any help would be greatly apprciated.
