OK, I am trying to use countif, but with more that one criteria. Is
this possible.

I have rows that have a format like this:

Letter Amt Date

I need it to count how many rows have a certain letter between certain
dates? Does anybody know how to do this?

michael, Try the followning; assuming Letter is in column 'A' and Date
is in Column 'C':

Sub LetterCount()
Dim C&, X&, cnt&
Dim myLetter As String
Dim minDate, maxDate As Date
myLetter = whatever letter
minDate = whatever date
maxDate = whatever date
C = Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(2, 1).End(xlDown)).Rows.Count
For X = 1 To C
If Cells(X + 1, 3) = minDate Or Cells(X + 1, 3) = maxDate Then
If Cells(X + 1, 1) = myLetter Then
cnt = cnt + 1
End If
End If
Next X
MsgBox "The letter """ & myLetter & """ appears in " & cnt & " rows."
End Sub

I have found an article that mentions countif with more than one criteria
he http://www.mrexcel.com/td0128.html
I don't know how to deal with the dates, though. It must be possible to get
date as a number, right. In that case, this article will get you started.

Worksheet functions okay?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A1000,"A"),--(C1:C1000=--"2004-01-01"),--(C1:C1000<=--"20
04-01-20"))

That formula isn't applicable in this case. It is for a range of values
within a single column. This problem involves criteria against two columns.
Countif doesn't work in that situation.

Bob Phillips has posted an Array formula (SumProduct) which does it.
