Hello,

Here is my issue. I have a bunch of dates in one column that may have
different years. In another column I have the data that I need to count.
What I want to do is count the data by year. Here's my example to clarify:

Column A Column B
2/10/2003 8
3/1/2004 5
1/4/2004 4
5/4/2002 10

I want to count how many answers there in Column B that were entered in the
year 2003 (from Column A). In this case, there's 1. Then I want to count
how many answers there are in Column B that were entered in the year 2004
(from Column A). In this case, there's 2. Etc.
Please let me know if you can help me out with this!
Thanks!!!
 
Hi
one way:
=COUNTIF(A1:A100,">=" & DATE(2004,1,1)) - COUNTIF(A1:A100,">=" &
DATE(2005,1,1))

or try
=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A1:A100)=2004)
 
This sounds good but in some cases, I want to count how many cells in Column
B contain the number 5 if the year in Column A is 2004. So in my example
ther would be 1. So I guess there would be a condition for Column A and
Column B
 
You can add conditions to the sumproduct formula such as

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A1:A100)=2004),--(--B1:B100=5))

or you could dump some of the first part and use;

=SUMPRODUCT((YEAR(A1:A100)=2004)*(--B1:B100=5))
 
Ok, change the formula a bit

=SUMPRODUCT(--(YEAR(A2:A10)=2004),--(B2:B10=5))
