Default counting months

Either:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A500=DATEVALUE("6/1/09")),--(A2:A500<DATEVALUE("9/30/09")))

Or:

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A500=DATEVALUE("6/1/09")) * (A2:A500<DATEVALUE("9/30/09")))

First, you do not need "--" if you are going to combine conditional
expressions with some other arithmetic operator (e.g. "*").

Second, your formula does not work because of misplaced parentheses. Test
with 10/1/2009 in some cell in A2:A500.

PS: Although DATEVALUE should work for this OP, since he used that date
form himself, I would prefer DATE(2009,6,1), since that is independent of
Regional and Language control settings.

I need to add all the months that are greater or equal to 6/01/09 but
less
than 9/30/09. All the dates are in one column.
Example: 6/01/09 = 1
7/30/09 = 1
8/01/09 = 1
total = 3
Thanks for your help with this.
