I have a quick question. i am trying to count the cells with a date range. i
ceonverted the date to a value and tried this but it is not counting
correctly.

=SUM(COUNTIF(D6505,(AND(">=39995","<=40026"))))

There are 9 with the date 7-31-09 and 15 with 8-6-09. So it comes up with
zero - I know beacsue with the and it is true or false. How can I get it to
count between the 2 dates of >= 7-1-09 and < 8-1-09?

Thanks

Use DATEVALUE()

Using COUNTIF
(all in one line
=COUNTIF(D6505,">="&DATEVALUE("01-jul-2009"))-COUNTIF(D6505,">="&DATEVALUE("01-AUG-2009"))

Using SUMPRODUCT
=SUMPRODUCT(--(--TEXT(D6505,"m")=7))

Using SUMPRODUCT() with the year..

=SUMPRODUCT(--(TEXT(D6505,"mmyyyy")="072009"))

arguments; it is very powerful!
