Countif using dates
In column A I have dates in the following format;
01-Apr-05 right through until the end of March 2006 On a different sheet in my workbook I want to summarise the information by counting the number of appointments between certain dates to get monthly totals. I just don't know how to say that I want all dates between 01-Apr-05 until say 30-Apr-05p and so on. Is it possible to do this - the formula I was trying with was; =COUNT(IF('Master Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000=DATEVALUE("01/04/2005:30/04/2005"),1,0)) But this isn't working! |
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A1000=DATE(2005,04,01)),--(A2:A1000<=DATE(2005,04,20))
If you are just looking for a month, you can use =SUMPRODUCT(--(MONTH(A2:A1000)=4)) or if there can be multiple yers, then =SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A1000)=2005),--(MONTH(A2:A1000)=4)) or =SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(A2:A1000,"yyyymm")="200504") -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bugaglugs" wrote in message ...

Try...
=SUMPRODUCT(--('Master Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000=DATE(2005,4,1)),--('Master Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000<=DATE(2005,4,30))) or =SUMPRODUCT(--('Master Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000-DAY('Master Sheet'!$A$2:$A$10000)+1)=DATE(2005,4,1)) Hope this helps!

This also works:

Maybe, but we don't format dates like that in the UK, far better to use an
unambiguous way IMO, such as I showed or even =SUMPRODUCT(--(A2:A1000=--"2005-04-01")),--(A2:A1000<=--"2005-04-30")) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bob Umlas" wrote in message ...

Bob - thanks for you prompt response - I'm still having problems, do you
think it's how I've formatted the cells with the dates in? I've got them so that however the user inputs the date it comes up "01-Apr-05" format?

If they are dates, the format should not matter at all.
What problems are you experiencing? Do you get 0 or an answer which you can't see the reason for? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Bugaglugs" wrote in message ...

Bob - spot on, I'm getting a '0' which I can't see the reason for!

Domenic
Thanks - still puzzling over this as I copied and pasted the formula and am now getting #ref I'm sure this is me rather than you but I just can't understand it!

Thank you for all your help - have now found out the reason for my problems
when using all the suggested formulas....am VERY sorry to admit that I'd put in the wrong date when trying it out so it was a simple case of user error on my part. Thanks once again for all time taken from everyone!

Make sure that the sheet name referenced in the formula matches exactly
the sheet name in your file.

Sounds like the dates are not real dates
