    COUNT with multiple expressions

    I have a range of data, say A2:E99. All cells have dates in them. Some of the dates are surrounded by brackets, like [15 Aug 2011]. The others do not. I am trying to count the total number of cells that have brackets and are less than one month away from a certain date. So all cells that begin with "[" and are <than 14 Jul 2011. Can anyone help please?

    Welcome to the forum.

    A good place to start is by getting rid of the brackets, so they convert to normal Excel serial dates. Use Find and Replace.

    The brackets mean the scheduled appointment has not taken place so I do not want to get rid of the brackets.

    Use something else to indicate that. You're fighting how Excel is designed to work.
