Default Silly question

I have to do a excel sheet that needs a formula that looks at a date in one
column and everytime that date appears in the one column go to another column
and count the amount of times it is there.

example in column c there is todays date. in column g there is info. what
is the simplest way to count what is in column g i the date is in column c.

See if this works:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(C1:C100=TODAY()),--(G1:G100<""))

This counts the number of times that today's date appears in Column C and
the corresponding row in Column G is not blank.

Is that what you're looking for? If not, it may help if you provide more
specific examples of what you want.

HTH,
Elkar

that worked perfectly thank you. I ran a sumproduct on it earlier but I did
not think of using the :not blank theory. Thanks again.
