Hello,

I have a large data table with "create date" and "status" fields. How can I count the number of statuses within a date range using cell references?
Specifically, I would like to count the number of "closed," "resolved," etc. statuses from the date range specified in cells D2 through E2. I will need to update the values in row 2 with the new date range next month.
Thank you!

Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
Show us the data you want to count. Also better to post the actual data instead of a screenshot.

Something like:

Excel Formula:
=COUNTIFS($G$1:$G$100,D3,$H$1:$H$100,">="&$D$2,$H$1:$H$100,"<="&$E$2)

assuming your status is in range $G$1:$G$100 and the date is in $H$1:$H$100. Put that formula in E3 and drag down.

My previous formula will work fine. Here it is adjusted to your ranges:

Excel Formula:
=COUNTIFS($B$11:$B$100,D3:D6,$C$11:$C$100,">="&$D$2,$C$11:$C$100,"<="&$E$2)

Put this in E3. I made it a Spill formula so you don't need to drag it down. Change the bottom row (100 in this formula) to whatever your actual bottom row is.

Hello,

Thank you once again for your response.

I diligently used the formula you provided to update the file, but I kept encountering the "Spill" error. I confirmed that the create date field is indeed a date field, and I have included a screenshot for your reference.
Additionally, I ensured that all 100 rows had no missing data in any of the cells. I am using MS Excel 365
What am I missing?

Clear the cells E4, E5 & E6 just leaving the formula in E3

I removed the formulas in cells E4, E5, E6, I continue to get the spill error. I have to be doing something wrong but unsure what.
