=COUNTIF(A:A,"=" & DATEVALUE("1 March 2009"))-COUNTIF(A:A,"" &
DATEVALUE("31 March 2009"))


So data like:

19/02/2009
13/01/2009
22/01/2009
19/01/2009
08/02/2009
17/01/2009
15/01/2009
12/02/2009
03/03/2009
06/02/2009
25/01/2009
12/03/2009
16/02/2009
28/01/2009
15/02/2009
13/02/2009
09/02/2009
15/02/2009
17/01/2009
08/03/2009
02/03/2009
20/01/2009
24/02/2009
23/01/2009
11/02/2009

I need to count the occurences of dates within a period from a named range.
The dates are set in a column and the formulae I have so far is:
=countif(presentations, and(""&"1/3/2008","<"31/3/2008")) - dates are set
as dd/mm/yyyy in Australia. This needs to work for both monthly and weekly
settings. Any help appreciated.
