Can someone please show me a function that can produce the following.
I have 6 dates (2/06,3/09,4/07,3/06,7/06,1/06) where the format of the
date is "d/mm" (day/month). these dates are in cells A1:F1.
now below the dates in cells A2,D2,E2,and F2 is the word "Absent"

I need a formula that will give me only the days that are in the month
of june, and then count how many "Absences" are assocated with each day
in june.

I hope that this makes sense..

Hi Ssrvant,

knowing your expected results would be better...

Anyway, the formula:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(A1:F1,"mm")="06"))

will give you the number of days that are in the month of June, while the
formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(A1:F1,"mm")="06")*(A2:F2="Absent "))

will give you the number of days that are in the month of June and that have
the word "Absent" associated.

You're welcome.

the "*" is the AND operator.

Maybe you can find useful this page on Debra Dalgleish's site about the
SUMPRODUCT function:
