Thank you very much, that formula did the trick! just had to think for a
while how to translate that in to the finnish version of Excel... for
istance, commas (,) don't work in my version of finnish excel, I had to
replace them with ;'s to get it working. =)

There's is a typo in that. What I meant to say was:

Assumes no empty cells in the DATE range.

To account for that:

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

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.)

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.
