How to count dates in a column between 2 dates

[deaconj999]

Hi All,

At present I have a formula that counts the number of date entries in
a column.

=COUNT($AL$1000:$AL$5000,"<=today()")

I need to change it so that it counts the dates between today and the
last 3 months.

Can someone tell me how, I have tried all manner of configurations.

Many thanks

Joe

Give this a try: Watch for the word wraping below

=COUNTIF($AL$1000:$AL$5000,"<="&TODAY())-COUNTIF($AL$1000:$AL$5000,"<="&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-3,DAY(TODAY())))

This may work

=COUNTIF($AL$1000:$AL$5000,"<"&DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-3,DAY(TODAY())))

If OP has Future Dates in Column A, wouldn't they also be included in the
count (He wanted to limit from 3 months back to today)?

Nick,
Sorry -- just forget what I just wrote - I just came back to look this over,
and I'm not half-way sure what I said is right or not, I'm nearly brain-dead
status..

Here is another formula:
=SUMPRODUCT(($AL$1000:$AL$5000<=TODAY())*($AL$1000:$AL
$5000>=EDATE(TODAY(),-3)))
