Well, I have empty cells, and the formula doesn't work.. The outcome of the
formula is 6, should be 3 (in my worksheet, not in the example, in my sheet
there are three hits, marked as "X" in the first three months.)

One way...

Assumes no empty cells in the data range.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A20)<=3),--(B1:B20="x"))

Hello!

I', having a slight problem with my Excel-worksheet. I have a sheet with
data, like this:

A B
1.1.2010 X
2.2.2010 X
3.3.2010
4.4.2010 X


(A: DDMMYYYY)
How do I get Excel to count all the X:s in the first three months? I have
another sheet to gather this data in which I'm putting the formula.
