    Single column countif with moving range based on today's date

    Good morning

    I'm trying to create a COUNTIF statement that will count every time a string "ABS" appears in a date range. But I need the date range to roll based on today's date, so something like this = COUNTIF(TODAY()-365:TODAY(),"ABS"). I know the range is invalid, I'm not sure the proper syntax to make this work. So I have a column with all the dates listed (A4:A734), and a row with names (B1:GT1). I need a formula in each column to count every time ABS appears in that same column within a year from todays date.

    I have attached the worksheet.Scheduling workbook.xlsx

    Is there anyone out there who can please help me?

    I didn't look at your file (too big!)

    Maybe something like this...

    =COUNTIFS(A4:A734,">="&EDATE(TODAY(),-12),B4:B734,"ABS")

    Try
    =COUNTIFS(B$4:B$734,"abs",$A$4:$A$734,">="&TODAY()-365,$A$4:$A$734,"<="&TODAY())

    Although, today-365 may not be the best way to go back a year...
    Some years have 366 days..

    This might be more accurate
    =COUNTIFS(B$4:B$734,"abs",$A$4:$A$734,">="&EDATE(TODAY(),-12),$A$4:$A$734,"<="&TODAY())
