See if this gives you an idea...

Your dates are color coded for a reason. Use that reason as the logic in a
formula. If they're color coded using conditional formatting, use the same
logic of the conditional formatting rule to write a formula.

Thanks much...That works great.
My dates are color coded, so how can I use the same formula, but only
count
the dates in a specific color? Can this even be done?

Best regards

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(MASTER!AI5:AI5997=TODAY()-180),--(MASTER!AI5:AI5997<=TODAY()-91))

I have a similar issue: I have a range of dates that I'm trackun
using
the
COUNTIF function based on the dates that are 91-180, 181-270, &
271-365,
days
old, based on the TODAY date. for the 90-180days, I'm using the
following,
but doesn't pan out:
=COUNTIF(MASTER!AI5:AI5997,"="&TODAY()-180),
(MASTER!AI5:AI5997,"<="&TODAY()-90)

Any help would be graetly appreciated!!
