Hi, I have a spreadsheets that contains a list of incidents by date. The date therefore appears numerous times (column A) and various codes appear in the 2nd column (column B). How do I count the number of times the code in column B appears by date (column a)? Sounds simple but I have a brain fog at the moment! thanks.

Thanks for this but I tried this and my date column kept appearing in the pivot table as year and quarters not the actual date. This was the reason I was then trying to use the countifs. (the file is from sharepoint which doesn't help!)

Yes, was trying with the multiple criteria but kept getting "two few arguments". My formula didn't work. I used an ampersand to split the two arguments which was probably wrong. any suggestions?

Click to expand...

Once the table is created, right click on the date ( or year whatever is showing on the date field), Select Group , you have option here to select months , days , years , Qtrs.
