I want to count how many times a salesman's name comes up in a list. I would
like to be able to break it up by year, so the COUNTIF will filter through
the salesperson column and count the number of sales in any given year.

Date: Salesperson
01/01/2002 John
01/02/2002 John
01/02/2002 Cindy
01/01/2003 John
01/01/2003 Cindy

These are examples of my columns, I have about 7500 rows of data, from
around 5 years of sales. I can figure out how to filter with the serialized
date, and the COUNTIF will give me the total number of sales for each
Salesperson. I just can't seem to get them to work together. Any help here
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You might try doing your AutoFilter to get the series of data you want, then
copying it over to another sheet, and then doing a normal COUNTIF formula on
that new sheet.

If you have to do that a lot, it can be automated with macros to produce a
"report".........

You could just use a single formula

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A7500)=2002),--(B2:B7500="John"))
