Evaluating a function in the criteria field of DCOUNT / COUNTIF

Hi,


I have a spreadsheet which contains dates in range B2:B100.


In the cell C2, I need to get the count of cells, in range B2:B100, which have dates in a given month, say 8.


The limitations are that I cannot add a separate column wherein I get the months using formula MONTH(..) and then use a COUNTIF with this new column as the range, to get the count of cells matching 8.


Please reply asap.


Regards,

Imsy

And about this question in particular...


Try using this:

=SUMAPRODUCTO((MES(B2:B100)=8)*1) -----> in english: =SUMPRODUCT((MONTH(B2:B100)=8)*1)


Regards!
 
Hello Imsy,


I would recommend to use TEXT function. Using of MONTH will give incorrect results if you have blank cells in the range & looking for month January. Because excel thinks blank cells as 1/0/1900.


=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(B2:B100,"m;;")="8")+0)


3 semi-colons will hide blank & zero values. You could also use "mmm;;" & check it like "Jan","Feb" etc...
