How do I get the total number of items that meet 2 criteria in Exc
 

In an excel spreadsheet I am attempting to count the number of items that
meet two criteria, i.e.,

(Prod #) (Date Sold)
Column D Column N
11 04/11/04
11 03/15/04
11 05/23/04
18 03/15/04
18 07/04/05
18 08/19/04

I have the total number of the products sold to date. I am attempting to
get the total of product 11 sold before 05/21/04. I am also attempting to
get the total of product 11 sold after 05/21/04. I need the same figures for
product 18. All of the figures are on one spreadsheet, so nothing fancy
there. I've tried "count", "Sum(IF)" "sumproduct" and nothing seems to work.
I'm probably leaving something out or adding too much in, but I get a "0" as
my answer. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you.
