    Countif conditional Formating with Dates

    Im using conditional formating to highlight a number of cells in a colum if they are 180 days past the date entered.For example I'm using =(A1+180)<today() to determine this. Now i need to count the highlighted cells. I tried using countif with the appropriate range and the formula I used to for the conditional formatting but it didnt work. Please help!

    If you didn't want a helper column (B1:B20), you could possibly just use:

    =COUNTIF(A1:A20,"<"&TODAY()-180)
