I need help with a formula similar to "countif" but more complex
 

COUNTIF provide me with the amount of times a number was used in a column.I
now want to add weight to the different time position s of the spesific
number/s by introducing a column with values according to date and
multiplying the specific number by the weight and adding the totals so as to
compare the values historic significance.

I need help with a formula similar to "countif" but more complex
 

=COUNTIF(A:A,the_test_date)*weight

will do a simple calculation, but if you want to store all the weights and
dates in arrays, and calculate and sum in one step, you could use

=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(A2:A20,H1:H3)*I1:I3)
