Counting dates with Conditional Formatting
 

I have 3 columns a,b,c.Column a,b contains dates.The dates in these columns
turn red if it is less than today.Column c is Status field which contains D
or M(M=Match, D=DOne).If the Status field is D the date is no more red even
if it is less than today( I set conditional formatting).Now,I want to count
the number of red dates in cloumn a or b .The status for these dates in not D.

Assuming no empty cells in either range...

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:B10<TODAY())*(C1:C10<"D"))

Hi T.Valko,

Thanks for your feedback. But there is still something I need to fix. I do
have Blank cells in the Columns a &b. And if there is a red date in both a1
and b1, I just want to count it as 1 and not 2.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Ok, in other words you want to count the number of ROWS that meet the
condition, not every cell?

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(--(A1:B10<"")*(A1:B10<TODAY()),{1;1})0),--(C1:C10<"D"))

This will only work if the range is less than 5462 rows.

If that doesn't work then you'll have to use some VBA code and it's more
complicated since you're using conditional formatting. See this:

Hi,
Thanks much for your time and feedback. I tried the formula as you said but

work to get my results.
Thanks again for help.

Counting dates with Conditional Formatting
 
Ok...

I'm only looking at columns J & K...

Your conditional formatting is based on column L not being "D" so you have
to consider that to count the "red cells". I'm not actually counting "red
cells". I'm using the logic of *why* the cells are red to arrive at the
count.

So, for columns J & K use this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(((J13:J120<"")*(J13:J120<=C9))+((K13:K120<"")*( K13:K120<=C9))0),--(L13:L120<"D"))

The correct result is 35.

You have an incorrect date entry in cell K13: 10/1008

Ok, in other words you want to count the number of ROWS that
meet
the
condition, not every cell?

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MMULT(--(A1:B10<"")*(A1:B10<TODAY()),{1;1})0),--(C1:C10<"D"))

This will only work if the range is less than 5462 rows.

If that doesn't work then you'll have to use some VBA code and
it's
more
complicated since you're using conditional formatting. See

Hi T.Valko,

Thanks for your feedback. But there is still something I need
to
fix. I
do
have Blank cells in the Columns a &b. And if there is a red
date
in
both
a1
and b1, I just want to count it as 1 and not 2.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks!

NM

Counting dates with Conditional Formatting
 
Moving in the same lines. I have another question for you. In the same sheet,
how can I count the number of rows which have red dates? So, a row might have
1 or 4 or 6 red dates but we will just count it as one. In a nutshell, i want
to count the total number of rows having red dates, no matter how many they
have.

Thanks again for your help.

You are a genius!!!Thank you so much for your solution it works great!! I

Ok...

I'm only looking at columns J & K...

Your conditional formatting is based on column L not being "D" so you
have
to consider that to count the "red cells". I'm not actually counting "red
cells". I'm using the logic of *why* the cells are red to arrive at the
count.

So, for columns J & K use this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(((J13:J120<"")*(J13:J120<=C9))+((K13:K120<"")*( K13:K120<=C9))0),--(L13:L120<"D"))

The correct result is 35.

You have an incorrect date entry in cell K13: 10/1008

Yes, I have the file open in front on me.

Please verify that this is what you want to do:

You want to count "red dates" in columns J and K by row (not each cell)
if
status in column L is not "D" ?

Hi,

Can you please send me your email address, so that I can send you a
the
sample file.
My apologies but I could not comprehend the email provided below.

Thanks !

If you want to send me a *small* sample file that shows what you

tell me what result you expect I can probably figure this out. If
you
want
to do that I'm at:

xl can help at comcast period net

Remove "can" and change the obvious.
