You say:
"I havent't managed to find one formula that could provide any useful
results.",
but I guess that if you had done you wouldn't have asked the question..
Tell us what you've tried and in what way it went wrong, then we can tell
you how to improve it.

Why not
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10=C$1),--(B1:B10<C$2),A1:A10) ?

Adjust the ranges to suit, and adjust the = and < depending on whether
you
want your limits to be inclusive or exclusive.

Hi,

I have been battling a problem for the last couple of days and can't
seem to be able to solve it.

I have a column with data regarding a call centre. In one of the
columns I have the date of a phone call and in another one I have
the
call outcome. I want to group this by week now, defining ranges of
dates and the outcome for the calls that were made then.

Have tried several different ways with sumproduct but the problem
seems to be in Excel 2003 having some problem with the dates. By the
way, I have the dates that define the ranges in seprate cells and
refer to those cells when defining ranges.

Any help would be more than appreciated

thanks

Pedro
Well,

I havent't managed to find one formula that could provide any useful
results. Countif can't be used because of the limit on the number of
criteria and I don't seem to work well with sumproduct
Data is organised like this:

Column A - Call Outcome
Column B - Date of call

Cells c1 - start of week 1
cell c2 - end of week 1
cell d1 - the call outcome i want to count

is this useful?

thanks a lot

I started digging several of the old spreadsheets :)
One of the attemps was:
=SUMPRODUCT((AD4:AD33=B1)*(AD4:AD33<=B2)*(Live!$R $4:$R$33=B14)) which
delivered a N/A
the final bit refers to the place where the call outcome is and b14 a
specific call outcome

As for the formula u proposed David, what does the A1:A10 at the end
refers to?

Thanks a lot for your help David. Any help u can give is great!!!

I am getting frustrated :(
u guys are great and I think both formulas should work but now it
returns 0!!
can it have to do with the fact that i am using dates?
thanks!!

and excel2003...
