Hi,

With your start date in E1 and end date in f1, try this

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B7>=D1)*(B2:B7<=E1)*(C2:C7<>""))

or if your looking for cells in column c that have a date try this

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B7>=D1)*(B2:B7<=E1)*(ISNUMBER(C2:C7)))

Or maybe this

=SUMPRODUCT((B2:B7>=D1)*(B2:B7<=E1)*(C2:C7=""))

Hi

With date in A1:C7, this formula should do it:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(B2:B7>=DATEVALUE("21-09-2009")),--(B2:B7<=DATEVALUE("27-09-2009")),--(C2:C7<>""))

Regards,
Per

This way stops the need to enter the date in the formula

If E1:f4 contains

Start_Date N Days
21/09/2009 6
Replies Left
4

The formula in E1 refers to the date in E2 and the number f days to inspect
in F2.

=(SUMPRODUCT(--(Received_Dates>=E2))-SUMPRODUCT(--(Received_Dates>=E2+F2)))-(SUMPRODUCT(--(Reply_Dates>=E2))-SUMPRODUCT(--(Reply_Dates>=E2+F2)))

With dynamic range names for received and reply dates.

Received dates =OFFSET(Sheet6!$B$2,0,0,COUNTA(Sheet6!$B:$B)-1)
Reply Dates =OFFSET(Received_Dates,0,1)

You will need to change the Sheet name on with the ranges occur for the
first name.
To insert a dynamic range name:
in xl2003

Choose Insert, Name, Define. In the Names in Workbook text box type your name.
In the Refers to Paste the formula
Click Add
Type the Second range name in the 'Names in Workbook' text box
Type or paste the 2nd Formula
Click OK

In xl2007
Select the Formulas Tab
choose Name Manager
Click New

and follow the steps above.
