Hi All,

I am trying to count a column in excel, range of A2:A200 and need to count the number of cells that contain dates and not free text.

Can only think of COUNTIF, but having major problems with this.

Any help would be great.

Dates in Excel can be numbers. To count the Numbers (if all are dates) use
= Count(A2:A200); Write back if I misunderstood...

The formula will depend on the format of the date. For example if from A2:A200 date is formatted as "dd/mm/yy" then the formula to use is

Code: 
+COUNTIF(A2:A200,TEXT(A2:A200,"dd/mm/yy"))

In a empty column, row 2 enter: =IF(CELL("format",A2)="D4",1,0) .. will produce either
1 for Dates or 0 for numbers -- Sum the Column
