count blank dates
 

I need to count in 2 columns this condition.

Column Z =< 5/31/06

Column AA = blank date fields

I've tried this but it does not work

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TCS!$Z$2:$Z$1000<="5/31/06"),--(TCS!AA2:AA1000=""))

Much thanks

Sharon

Always nice to tell us what
"it does not work"
means. "It all depends on your definition of IS is"
maybe you have the range set to too many rows?

I find this easier to read:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TCS!$Z$2:$Z$1000<=date(2006,5,31)),--(TCS!AA2:AA1000=""))

But this: "5/31/06" is just a string--not a date.

Bob likes to use: --"5/31/06" that coerces that string into a number and dates
are just numbers nicely formatted to excel.
