COUNTIF problem with NOW()
 

=COUNTIF(ALL!AC2:AC1000,"<NOW()-21")

This is the formula I'm using. I'm trying to determine how many dates
in column AC are more than three weeks ago. It's returning a 0 even
though it shouldn't. Can anyone see why? THanks.

Hi,

try this:

=COUNTIF(A2:A49,"<"&TODAY()-21)

in this case you should prefer TODAY instead of NOW, because you don't need
the time, just th day.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

do it this way and use today instead of now
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$7,"<"&TODAY()-21)

The NOW formula should not be in quotes.

=COUNTIF(ALL!AC2:AC1000,"<"&NOW()-21)

Thanks for replying. I'm now using
=COUNTIF(ALL!AC2:AC1000,"<"&TODAY()-21)

However, I'm having another problem. What I need to do is this:

Of all of the dates more than three weeks ago in column AC, how many of
those have a blank cell in column AG?

You can use this one:

=SUMPRODUCT((ALL!AC2:AC1000<(TODAY()-21))*(ALL!AG2:AG1000=""))

translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Franz,

I'm not sure why you suggested SUMPRODUCT. I'm only interested in a
count.

The reason I wasn't sure that this was a count is because the formula
resulted in a number much larger than the correct answer. Do you have
any other suggestions? Thanks.

COUNTIF problem with NOW()
 

Ok, THanks Franz. Your solution does work. However, the reason why I was
getting a very large number is because I was using:
=SUMPRODUCT((ALL!AC2:AC1000<(TODAY()-21))*(ALL!AG2:AG1000=""))

However, I only have data up until row 157. So I changed it to:
=SUMPRODUCT((ALL!AC2:AC157<(TODAY()-21))*(ALL!AG2:AG157=""))

How can the formula be modified so that it counts the number of blank
cells in AG that have the correct data in AC but doesn't add the number
of blank cells in AG that have no date in AC. In other words, I don't
want to have to manually change the 157 to 158 when I add a new row.

Thanks.

I think this sould do the job:

=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("ALL!AC2:AC"&COUNTA(AC2:AC)) <(TODAY()-21))*(INDIRECT("ALL!AG2:AG"&COUNTA(AG2:AG))=""))

Errors due to copy & past... :-)

The formula you gave me returns a Zero (it shouldn't). Does anything
need to be changed?

In my last post I told you to correct the formula: there was a mistake due
to copy & past, so the correct formula is:

=SUMPRODUCT((INDIRECT("ALL!AC2:AC"&COUNTA(AC:AC))< (TODAY()-21))*(INDIRECT("ALL!AG2:AG"&COUNTA(AG:AG))=""))

If the formula returne you azero, maybe your dates are formatted as text...
