Hi

I really need some help with a function that can do this:

I have 5 seperate sheets in 1 workbook, each with a week of the month and a
spare week. I.e. Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5.

Thus, in Week 1 I have a table that looks like this:

A B C D E
1 Day Date Time Maureen John
2 Mon 01-Sep e-learning e-learning e-learning
3 08:00 - 11:00 Other Sales
4 11:00 - 14:00 Other Sales
5 14:00 - 17:00 Other Sales
6 Tue 02-Sep e-learning e-learning e-learning
7 08:00 - 11:00 Other Sales
8 11:00 - 14:00 Other Sales
14:00 - 17:00 Other Sales

Cells A2:A5 are merged, as well as B2:B5. (This may impact the formula
required). Cells A6:A8 and B6:B8 are also merged with the text horizontal.

Sheets for weeks 2,3,4,5 are the same, they just have different dates.
(i.e. instead of having 1 Sep & 2 Sep, they have 10 Sep & 11 Sep, etc.)

What I want to do is count the number of times "John" does "Sales" after a
specific date but before the next date. I.e. in this example how many times
does "John" do "Sales" from the and including 2 Sep 08 but before 1 Oct 08?
I.e. the answer needs to be 3.

Firstly, how do i do this with one sheet?
Secondly, how do I do the formula to do it across 5 different sheets?

Any help would be appreciated!

Many Thanks

Alex
