Hello
I am creating a simple table which lists particular events/incidents that happen during the day, the date that they happened and whether they are still outstanding.
The table has 3 columns:
Coumn A - Incident
Column B - Date
Column C - Complete (Y/N).
At the top of the worksheet I have today's date (using the TODAY function).
I need a simple way to add up the number of incidents which are over 24 hours old if that makes any sense!!
Any help???
Thanks in advance!!!
Sam
Take a look at using the countif() function, using "<"&today() as the criteria

1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)

hi sambashir. do you have time inside column B? if you do, then you should use NOW() instead of TODAY(). assuming TODAY() is in E1, try:
=COUNTIF(B:B,"<="&E1-1)
so if today is 6 Nov 13, it counts 5 Nov 13 & prior dates. if it doesn't work, I suggest you upload an Excel file in the thread. To do that, Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

you could use something like this:
Assumes Today in A1 and Data starts in row 3
=SUMPRODUCT(--(B1:B1000<=(A1-1))
Although, this wont guarantee 24 hrs, just none from today
You could use the NOW() funftion in A1 and format as date, then it would work to exclude anything less than 24hrs old
Hope this Helps
