Sorry guys, i still cant make it work, i give an example below:


a b
1 27/04/05 27/04/05
2 27/04/05 28/04/05
3 27/04/05
4 28/04/05 29/04/05
5 28/04/05
6 28/04/05

my formula wants to say if a cell column a = 27/04/05 how is there a date in
the same row in column b, then i do the same for the next date 28/04/05.

so my answer should be 27/04/05 = 2 replies
and 28/04/05 = 1 repliy

my sheet contains some 18000 rows so can i use A:A?

sorry if i am a little slow on the uptake here.
