Ken, I believe you would need to remove the "hrs" from your values. I
believe EXCEL will view that as a text, thus not being able to make the
compare.

OOPS! That was an error in my example.
I did it for clarity. It doesn't actually show in the works sheet. Neither
does the " ' " in the year.

Sorry for all of the unneeded confusion. Thanks for bringing it to my
attention.

also if you actually do have 23hrs in A2 then enter this column to extract
the 23
=VALUE(LEFT(A2,FIND("h",A2)-1))...then use countif below

If this is an acceptable solution please click yes below.

The formula in C2 is =B2-A2.

Then I'm trying to count the times that values in col. C are <=24 for each
of the 12 months. In my example it would be 2 for Jan. , 0 for Feb. etc.

I'm realizing that I certainly didn't state my dilemma clearly - apologies
for that.

Ok, but what month do the hours get charged to if/when the dates span more
than one month (if that's possible)? For example:

1/31/2009 15:00 to 2/1/2009 15:00 ... 24hrs

Do those hours get charged to Jan or Feb?
