Question on the countif function and times
I need to count all the times between 12:01 am and 12:10 am in a collumn, i
have been messing around with variations of the formula, i have even tried to use cells to hold 12:01 and 12:10, but that didnt work either. =COUNTIF(G1:G500,"12:01")-COUNTIF(G1:G238,"12:10") with this equation i get a 0 value =COUNTIF(G1:G500,"12:01")-COUNTIF(G1:G238,"<12:10") with this formula i get an answer of -238, ie the negative value of the number of total entries thanks for any help |

Why aren't your ranges the same?

they were the same, i was using 1-500, but right before i copied and pasted i
tried to change it to 238 to make it match the text i typed in. In the file they are the same, and it reads 1-500, although there are only 238 entries.

I think your first formula is correct and you may be getting a good answer,
bt it is being formatted as time. Try this, in a completely new cell =N(COUNTIF(G1:G500,"12:01")-COUNTIF(G1:G500,"12:10")) -- __________________________________ HTH Bob "MTSkibum" wrote in message ... they were the same, i was using 1-500, but right before i copied and pasted i tried to change it to 238 to make it match the text i typed in.
