Actually you were very close:

=COUNTIF(senioritylist!K3:K58,"<=" & (TODAY()+365.25*5))

is a "reasonable" estimate.

I have a list of employees and have calculated their retirement dates. this
among other things are calculated on sheet 1 (labeled senioritylist). On
sheet 2 I want to calculate the percentage of employees that have reached
their retirement date or are within 5 years of retirement, and then do the
same in the 5-10 year retirment group, etc. I was trying to use
=countif(senioritylist!k3:k58,"(today()+365.25*5)" ) but that does not work.
What am I doing wrong?
