I am trying to count the number of cells that contain a Y in a particular
column IF the data in another column IS a date. I have tried a variation of
the COUNTIF formula together with the AND function but it doesn't appear to
like me using them together. Any ideas much appreciated.

The date column is A cells 2:1528 and the Y or N appears in the X column
also from cells 2:1528.

please help!

thanks

Pete

something like this. Untested

=sumproduct((isdate(a2:a22))*(b2:b22="Y"))

If you don't mind tying up another column -- You could just put an IF
statement in a column and combine it with an AND statement. If both are
true, have the cell output a "1" and then sum these on the bottom.

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNONTEXT(B2:B22))*(D2:D22="d"))
