I am using Countifs to calculate the number of meetings in a given month. I started with the following formula but have tried Indirect, Concatenate, Index and Match without success. =COUNTIFS(owner,$A$1,meetdate,">"&B3&B4,meetdate,"<6/1/2021"). B3 and B4 are variables that will trigger the named range, but not working. Cell B5 has the correct answer for May (27). But the above formula in B6 incorrectly yields 0 (zero). Spreadsheet is attached. I'm sure there are better ways to go about this. Any guidance appreciate. Mini-sheet below. Thanks for your attention.

Try changing criteria to May and 2021 an using the following formula:
Excel Formula: 
=COUNTIFS(owner,$A$1,meetdate,">="&EOMONTH(B3&B4,-1)+1,meetdate,"<"&EOMONTH(B3&B4,0)+1)
