See http://www.j-walk.com/ss/excel/usertips/tip016.htm

=SUMPRODUCT(--(ISNUMBER(MATCH(ROW(INDIRECT(start_date&":"&end_da te)),holiday

Or if that was down see
http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/arch...9/networkdays/

How about:

Function counter2(d1 As Range, d2 As Range, hl As Range) As Integer

d1v = DateValue(d1.Value)
d2v = DateValue(d2.Value)

c = 0
For Each r In hl
dh = DateValue(r.Value)
c = c - (dh = d1v And dh <= d2v)
Next
counter2 = c
End Function

If A1 contains: 1/1/2006
and B1 contains:1/1/2007
and the holiday list is in C1 thru C5:
1/1/2006
1/1/2007
7/4/2006
1/18/2006
7/4/2007


Then =counter2(A1,B1,C1:C5)
returns 4 - the number of holidays between A1 and B1

Hi Sir Philippe,
thanks for the link, yet I cannot find the solution..

I need a match or a lookup of floating dates within the 2 given dates.

e.g.
date given 1 = 01/Dec/06
date given 2 = 20/Feb/06

holiday list
08/Dec/06 <
31/Dec/06 <
01/Jan/06 <
20/Feb/06 <
01/May/06

then the desired count of holiday = 4

i hope i have explained it clearly...

i am so confused because my boss request me with a single formula, even a
long formula will do

happy holidays

Wouldn't it be better to switch this around?

=SUMPRODUCT(--(holidays=start_date),--(holidays<=end_date))
