Thank you again for the help but, it must be me? Iam still trying to get your
suggestion to work completely.

Needed=IF(B1:B4,"=01/01/06"),THENCOUNT,(C1:C4,IF=A1))

Your way =SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10=DATE(2006,1,1)), --(A1:A10=C1:C10))does
count but, if i change the actual date in a cell from B to be less than the
date of 2006,1,1 the quantity does not adjust?

Can you help again??

Thanks

Are you trying to count how many values in C are = or 01/01/2006?
If so, =COUNTIF(B1:B4,"=01/01/2006")

If you want to count with more than one criteria (say B = a date and A = C)
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B10=DATE(2006,1,1)), --(A1:A10=C1:C10))
(I used 10 rows to test the data; I use DATE since I work with the other
date system - dd/mm/yyyy)
