    Formula to count number of times a date is 15 or 28 in a date range

    We're looking for a formula to count the number of times at date is either the 15th or the 28th between two dates in excel.

    The goal of the field is to show the number of Semi Monthly Checks in a date range.

    For example: from 1/1/2017 - 3/3/2017, there are 4 Semi-Monthly Checks.

    Semi Monthly means they get paid twice a month. Usually the 15th and end of month.

    I don't know much about VBA or Excel formulas.

    Can anyone assist?

    Thanks!

    Re: Need help with a formula that counts number of times a date is 15 or 28 in a date rang

    You could do a text or OR(DAY(cell-with-date=15),DAY(cell-with-date=28)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

    Hello Dave,

    That's an excellent approach!

    As the last day of the month is obviously followed by the 1st of the next month you could also count the numbers of 15ths + end of months by counting whenever the next day is 16 or 1, e.g.

    =SUMPRODUCT((DAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&B1))+1)={16,1})+0)

    ....or if it's actualy 15th and 28th to count

    =SUMPRODUCT((DAY(ROW(INDIRECT(A1&":"&B1)))={15,28})+0)
    Audere est facere
