Counting values containing part of a cell
I have a list of dates and wish to count the number of times February
appears. If I search for a specific date such as 03 February 2005 I have no problem but if I wish to find all values containing part of the cell, in this case the month, I become stuck. |

Use the MONTH function in a different column to get the month. Use COUNTIF to count the ocurrences of the month you're looking for. /Fredrik |
=SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A1:A20)=2)
or =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(A1:A20,"mmm")="Feb")) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "davidm" wrote in message ...

Cheers Bob. That's solved the problem and a lot of frustration in endlessly
trawling through excel help.
