Hello,

I use this formula to sumproduct for one date range:

=Sumproduct(--(Text(Overall!H8:H2200,"mmm/yyyy")=Text(A1,"mmm/yyyy")))

I know it reads "text" but it works. What do I need to add to this formula
in order for it to calculate more than one date range?

Thanks. Roy

=Sumproduct(--(Text(Overall!H8:H2200,"mmm/yyyy")=Text(A1,"mmm/yyyy")))

So you want to count dates within a certain month of a certain year.

A1 = start date = 1/1/2009
B1 = end date = 1/31/2009

=SUMPRODUCT(--(Overall!H8:H2200=A1),--(Overall!H8:H2200<=B1))

to calculate more than one date range?

You'll have to provide more detail.

Hi,

What exactly do you mean by more than one date range?

As you probably figured, the obvious solutions, the AND() and OR()
functions, do not work as intended. But the following has the same effect.

To count the dates in H8:H2200 between the month/year of the dates in A1 and
A2 inclusive:

=sumproduct(--(text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")=text(A1,"mm/yyyy")),
--(text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")<=text(A2,"mm/yyyy")))

To count the dates in H8:H2200 that are in the same month/year as the dates
in A1 or A2:

=sumproduct(--(text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")=text(A1,"mm/yyyy")) +
--(text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")=text(A2,"mm/yyyy")))

Note: If A1 and A2 already have dates that are the 1st of the month, no
matter how they appear -- temporarily change their format to the custom
format mm/dd/yyyy to confirm -- you might consider the following
simplification:

=sumproduct(--(--text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")=A1))

You apply that to the other paradigms above.

Are you sure that's doing what you intended?

Let's assume:

A1 = 2/15/2009
A2 = 6/15/2009

That will count dates in Feb that are <A1 and dates in Jun that are A2.

It's evaluating text strings not date serial numbers..

=TEXT("2/1/2009","mm/yyyy") = "02/2009"
=TEXT("2/15/2009","mm/yyyy") = "02/2009"

"02/2009"=TEXT(A1,"mm/yyyy") = TRUE
"02/2009"<=TEXT(A2,"mm/yyyy") = TRUE

="02"<"03" = TRUE
="02""03" = FALSE
="A"<"B" = TRUE
="A""B" = FALSE

Right. Change all uses of TEXT to --TEXT. Simplifying:

=sumproduct((--text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")=--text(A1,"mm/yyyy"))
* (--text(overall!H8:H2200,"mm/yyyy")<=--text(A2,"mm/yyyy")))

Note that comma (",") is replaced with multipy ("*").

After thinking about this overnight, you were correct.

I forgot that we're looking for month year *NOT* day month year.

My bad!

No, you were correct in the first place!

Consider the comparison of the dates 02/2009 < 04/2008 in text form. That
would be TRUE, which is not the intent.

I don't remember if the OP qualified the dates in question so that a text
comparison would work by coincidence. I could look, but....

But I agree with your first response: it is more reliable to do a numeric
comparison of the date serial numbers. That is certainly what I had in mind
when I posted my formulas originally. My hyphen key was simply broken at
the time ;).
