I do not know exactly what you have on your mind but from what
I understand you'd like to be able to do this:

Precondition: You have a column range in which there are dates.
Say the range is named myRange (= A1:A100 for the sake of
argument). Then you have a range named myDate (=B1).
You want a formula to count the number of occurences of myDate
in myRange.

There are two ways:
1. The countif function.
2. Array formula.

1.) =countif(myRange, myDate)
2.) =sum(if(myRange = myDate, 1, 0)) and you have to press
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

I don't know whether this is what you wanted.

Lets say we have a list of dates in column A. In an unused column enter:
=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)
and copy down. This helper column will tell you how many times each date
apears in column A.


You can also use this formula in Conditional formatting.
