Hi Duke! Thanks so much for you response...

It was a great help - what if I need to do a date range instead say between
7/1/05 and 7/29/05? how would i put that in the formula?

You'll need to use a sumproduct()

=SUMPRODUCT(--(range="AB"),--(newrangeDATE(2005,7,1)))

I am doing a countif(range, "=AB") however I want to in the next column do
the same countif(range, "=AB") and then countif(newrange, "07/01/2005)

I'm tryiing to count ab's in one column and then in the second count I need
