I am trying to count the dates AFTER 1/7/2018
The first formula is "= to 1/7/218" and gives me a 1 which is correct

The next three do nothing, gives me a 0... not correct.
What am I doing wrong? in Excel 2016....

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Kerry Newman, Good afternoon.

Your formulas:

a) COUNTIF($C$5:$C$12,"="&$C$7) --> CORRECT --> Result must be 1

b) COUNTIF($C$5:$C$12,"=>"&$C$7) --> WRONG SINTAXE

c) COUNTIF($C$5:$C$12,">="&$C$7) --> CORRECT --> Result must be 6

d) COUNTIF($C$5:$C$12,">"&$C$7) --> CORRECT --> Result must be 5

Verify your dates at C5:C12 and C7.

Are they REAL dates or maybe some TEXT dates there?

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the input, the dates are formatted as dates. and c & d above bring back 0
What do you think is going on?

Kerry Newman,

"...the dates are formatted as dates..."
They are formatted as DATES....BUT..Are they REAL DATES for Excel???

Take a little test:
Choose any cell. e.g. G5

G5 --> =ISNUMBER(C5)
Copy it down to G12

ALL the answers must be TRUE.

It will confirm IF all your dates are REAL DATES for Excel.

I will wait for your answer.

Very Nice, they were not dates. They were formatted as dates but when I clicked in the cell and hit enter on each cell, the formulas worked.
Thanks a ton!
