    countif, sumproduct

    table:
    1.5.2006 blue
    2.5.2006 green
    30.4.2005 green
    21.5.2006 yellow
    21.6.2006 blue

    how can I count all the green guys with the datum after 1.5.2005?
    countif will not probably work...

    I will assume the first column are dates
    With dates in column A and colours in B
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5>DATE(2006,5,1)),--(B1:B5="green"))
    best wishes

    Hi,

    Just out of interest more than anything but what is the signifcance of the "--" that appears before each argument as opposed to "*", that Excel Help puts between the two arguments?

    Cheers,

    thanx a lot, that's exactly what I have been looking for.
    You've helped me a lot.

    Hi

    The -- coerces a TRUE result into a 1, and a FALSE result into a 0. This can
    then be used to calculate with.
    If you type =FALSE in a cell, it will give the result of FALSE. If you type
    =--FALSE into a cell, you will get 0 as the result. Other ways of doing the
    same job are to use a * to multiply or even a +0. It's just a way of making
    Excel treat logical results as numbers.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi

    Try something like this:
    =SUMPRODUCT(--(A1:A5>=DATE(2006,4,1))*(A1:A5<=DATE(2006,5,2)),--(B1:B5="green"))
