Default subtract a single cell from range of cells and then count

Sorry- I see why I confused you. I am looking at a totally differnt column
for the blank or "no". I have to reference that column and exclude that
record from the count if it has a blank or "No"

I'll tinker with the formula you gave me but any further advise would be
helpful.

same time you are checking for = ""...If that is correct you can simply add
one more condition

'ColA is blank
=SUMPRODUCT((A2-E1:E10030)*(E1:E1000)*(A1:A100=""))

'ColA is blank or no
=SUMPRODUCT((A2-E1:E10030)*(E1:E1000)*(A1:A100={"","no"}))

This is gettign me 1/2 the way there. Hereis the logic:
I have a date in A2
I have a range of dates in range E:E
If I subtract A2 from E I get a value. If that value is greater than 30 I
count 1. So if there are 40 cells where A2-E:E 30 I return 40. I think your
formula works but I have more to consider.

I must also ask if colums A:A equals "no" or "" [blank]

So I am now only counting if the value is 30, and A:A is no or blank.
In the original logic I said I would get a count of 40. If there are 7
blanks or Nos, then the return value would be 33.

Check your previous post

=SUMPRODUCT((A2-E1:E10030)*(E1:E1000))

I want to subtrcat a single cell from each value in a range. For each result,
if greater tthan 30, I want to count those instances.

In other words, I would subtract A2 from E:E (each cell). I want to count
each time the result is greater than 30.
