Count if >0 and between dates

[Stilmovin]

I have been looking all over this site trying to find the answer and came up
with nothing.
I have a spread sheet that contains three columns: Date Cost Award
I am trying to count the number of awarded between a date(January)
I have tried the sumproduct and sumif equations to come up with the following

=COUNTIFS(P6:R93,">0",E6:E93,"2008Jan")
-> #Value!

=COUNTIF(E5:E80,">=10/9/2008")-COUNTIF(E5:E80,">=10/10/2008")
-> This resulted in only counting the dates and not the # of Awarded

HELP!!

HELP!!

Try this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((E5:E80>=startdate)*(E5:E80<=enddate)*(R5:R80))

where startdate and enddate are two cells with those dates, i.e. A1
and A2

The formula gives the sum of award for the corresponding dates.
If you just want to know the number of dates where there has been an
award, change R:R80 to R5:R80<>"" in the last part of the formula.

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

=SUMPRODUCT((E5:E80>=2008/5/1)*(E5:E80<=2008/5/31)*(P580))
turned result = 0

Result should be = 3

=SUMIF(E5:E80,">=10/9/2008",J5:J80)-SUMIF(E5:E80,">=10/10/2008"",J5:J80)

assuming award numbers in column J.

Use cells to hold your date boundaries:

A1 = start date = 1/1/2008
B1 = end date = 1/31/2008

A3:A12 = dates

If you're using Excel 2007:

=COUNTIFS(A3:A12,">="&A1,A3:A12,"<="&B1)

For any version of Excel:

=COUNTIF(A3:A12,">="&A1)-COUNTIF(A3:A12,">"&B1)

This equation returns the total of that range. What do i need to include if i
just want them to be counted.

 

[Glenn]

That is because the first portion of your formula evaluates to E5:E80>=401.6
(2008 divided by 5 divided by 1) and the second is E5:E80<=12.9548 (2008 divided
by 5 divided by 31). There are no numbers greater than 401.6 and less than
12.9548, therefore the answer will always be 0.

If you want the correct answer, use a cell to hold the date or use DATE(year,
month, day) in your formula.

Read my answer again, particularly the line below the formula.

[Stilmovin]

Alright i used your formula to come up with a result and it would just sum. I
need it to count the number of awarded. not total the awarded.

 

[Lars-Åke Aspelin]

And for that you have to read the last line of my answer (where there
is a 5 missing)

[Stilmovin]

Alright sorry i forgot the "" behind them. That is why mine wasn't working.
Is there a way to get the equation to not relate to a specific cell but
Date(2008,5,1)

 

[Lars-Åke Aspelin]

Yes, you may use the DATE function instead of a reference to a cell
holding the date, as pointed out by Glenn earlier in this thread.

[Stilmovin]

=SUMPRODUCT((E6:E80>=DATE(2008,8,1)*(E6:E80<=DATE(2008,8,30)*(P680<>""))))

why is this not returning the results i want. It is not counting up the
cells. i tryed changing the range and using different dates. but it keeps
turning up "0"?

 

[Lars-Åke Aspelin]

The reason is that you misplaced two right parenthesis.
This is how it should look like:

=SUMPRODUCT((E6:E80>=DATE(2008,8,1))*(E6:E80<=DATE(2008,8,30))*(P680<>""))

Below I put in some linefeeds and spaces so that you can see easier
how the formula is built up.

=SUMPRODUCT(
( E6:E80>=DATE(2008,8,1) )
*
( E6:E80<=DATE(2008,8,30) )
*
( P680<>"" )
)

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke

But isn't there a number of those awarded with each date, so you sum the
award numbers?
