Can you advise whether the formula can update the results every time I
open
the Worksheet.

Hi,
Hope someone can help me.
Column A contains dates an item was first sent out.
Column B contains dates the item was first returned.
Column C contains the status of the item (A,B or C).
Column D contains dates an item was sent out for a second time.
Column E contains dates the item was returned for the second time.
Column F contains the status of the item (A,B or C) after the second
return.
With me so far?

I need a formula which will count the number of cells in column C which
are
A, B or C but ONLY if the date in Column B is within the last 7 days.
However, if there is a value in Column F, I need it to ignore column C
and
count that value instead.

I hoope the above is clear and someone can help me out. If it is not
clear
maybe I can post a small sample of what I require.

Many thanks
