Compare dates
 

Hi,
I have a worksheet that may contain up to 40K dates in a single column. The dates will be in the following format, 4/5/2012 9:14.On another worksheet, a User will enter anywhere from 5 to 12 dates in a column in the following format, 4/6/2012. What is the best way to compare the 5 to 12 dates against the 40K dates using VBA? The purpose is to determine if data was entered on day when the person was absent.
Thanks.
James

hi James,

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(Sheet1!A1:A40000)=YEAR(A1))*(MONTH(Sheet1!A1 :A40000)=MONTH(A1))*(DAY(Sheet1!A1:A40000)=DAY(A1) ))
