Although, with what I said in the last post,

I have found that this part of the formula does not cause a stop in
what the formula looks for as it still shows anything past this end of
search date: --(Tabulation!$B$3:$B$54<=$E$1)

The first part works fine with the start date and nothing showing up
before it, but that part does not keep it from looking past the end
date. Any ideas?
