searching dates in excel!!!

Hi All,

I had a request from a user at work, She's got a spreadsheet and would like to do the following

"I want to calculate the number of entries between two dates so we can
work out statistics by month"


Basically what she wants is to enter two dates say

01/01/08
to
28/02/08

And excel to return the number of entries between those dates

eg

01/01/08 - food1
05/02/08 - food2
31/03/08 - food3
24/02/08 - food4

With the criteria above it would return "3"

I could use countif but don't know how to search between dates

Any idea's / help would be gratefully accepted

Thanks

=COUNTIF(A1:A4,">=1/1/2008")-COUNTIF(A1:A4,">28/2/2008")

Replace the range A1:A4 with the range you want.

You do realise that the user will contact you for every Excel problem now. Do you have BMs email address?


Me: You need to buy a couple of servers.
Customer: Whats wrong with the servers I have?
Me: Well, you dont have *any* servers just now.
Customer: WTF! I thought I did!
