    Talking Count Dates In A Month

    Below is a column of data from one of my spreadsheets. I would like to count the total number of manufacturing days. For instance from the data below shows three dates 5/5/2014, two dates for 5/8/2014 and so forth. The value I'm trying to get is 12 (in the case of the data below). I would prefer not using VBA. I use Excel 2013 as our spreadsheet tool.

    With your data in column A, in B1 enter 1 and in B2 enter:

    Re: Count Dates In A Month

    Hi,

    My answer is similar to Jakob's above but a little different. I like to use a helper column that shows the number of a date in the column. Then I simply find all the first count of those dates. See the attached.

    Using SumProduct works but confuses me.

    Re: Count Dates In A Month

    If the dates are in order as shown then it would be sufficient to count the number of times the dates change, so assuming the data starts at A2 try

    =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A500<>A3:A501)+0)

    Note that the two ranges are "offset" by 1 row
