Hi ,

What would be the easiest way to calculate the number of entries in in the
following scenario :

B1 : B25 contains dates ( although not all fields will contain data yet )
C1 : C25 contains contact type details i.e. E-mail , phone call ( again not
all will contain data )

I want to show the number of contacts made within the last 4 weeks but omit
one kind (left message).

I am sure there is a simple way but cannot work it out !!

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I would recommend using a Pivot table to summarize your data. You can group
your data by weeks, and it will tally up all of your contacts by type.

For help on using a pivot table see the following sites:

=SUMPRODUCT(--($B$1:$B$25=E2),--($B$1:$B$25<=F2),--($C$1:$C$25<""),--($C$1:$C$25<"left
message"))

where E2 and F2 house date conditions with E2 weeks before F2.
