Default Counting Question!

Did you see either one of my responses to you (one here in this thread and
one in your previous thread)???

Thaks for the help Shane!

The only problem is that I want the count to occur ONLY if the values are
betwewen "1-Day(s) Till Birthday-Send Letter", and "10-Day(s) Till
Birthday-Send Letter". If the value is greater than 10-Day(s), NO counting
should occur. The formuula suggestion you graciously offered, counts for
ALL
values greater than 0, as opposed to those restricted to "1-Day(s) through
10-Day(s).

Hope that offers clarification as to what I'm looking for?
Best,

Dan

Hi,

This might work:

=COUNTIF(G4:G3500,"<")
or more likely
=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(G4:G3500)0))

If this helps, please click the Yes button

This is somewhat related to my Countdown Birthday Flag question,
however a
bit different, so I chose to generate a "New" question for this...

I have a flag in Column G which identifies a "countdown" to someone's
Birthday:

10-Day(s) Till Birthday-Send Letter
9-Day(s) Till Birthday-Send Letter

The above flag appears between Days 10-1 (not on the actual Birthday
however). In cell G3, I merely want to "count" how many times the flag
appears in Column G, but I'm having difficulty doing this. I tried t
hat
which you see below to no avail. In addition, the formula below needs
to be
more refined so that the count only takes in the parameters of 10-1
Day(s)
Till Birthday-Send Letter:

=COUNTIF(G4:G3500<=",10-Day(s) Till Birthday-Send Letter")

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan
