COUNTIF with extension
Actually, you might be able to use CSE formulas to do this. Assuming
your data is in A1:B5. You could use the following formula: =SUM(IF(A$1:A$5=D2,IF(B$1:B$5<E1,1,0))) Cell D2 has the color you're trying to count (e.g. White) and cell E1 has the cutoff date. When you enter the formula, you have to use Control+Shift+Enter to enter it as an array formula. Use this formula in 3 different cells...1 for each unique color.

White 10/02/03 Blue 11/02/03 Red 12/02/03 Red 12/07/03 White 12/07/03 I need a function to tell me for each colour who many have dates before 01/06/03. So producing a function that I pass the String of the colour and a set date (01/06/03) and it returns the number of occurances of that colour before the specified date. Hopefully I have made it clear what required of the function. I hope some will have some idea. Many Thanks |

Thank you, this worked great.
