    CountIF and a Range of Dates

    Hi,

    I am trying to solve a a problem that I am having.

    I have a list of projects in one column and start dates in a different column.

    I want to create a dashboard that breaks down projects by month, quarter and year to date.

    I have tried various formulas centered around CountIf. Bottom line is I want to review a column of dates and determine how many projects started last month, etc.....

    Can you help?

    Thanks,

    Are they all within same year?

    if so,

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$4<>""),--(MONTH($A$1:$A$4)=MONTH(TODAY())-1))

    if not

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$A$4<>""),--(MONTH($A$1:$A$4)=MONTH(TODAY())-1),--(YEAR($A$1:$A$4)=YEAR(TODAY())

    adjust ranges to suit.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Have not had much success with using the SumProduct formula. I enclosed a spreadsheet on what I am trying to accomplish.

    Thanks in advance for the continued support.
