Converting Date to month in COUNTIFS function
I have tried the following formulas and I can not get them to work.
I have a column of dates in the format dd/mm/yyyy
I cant make any changes to the sample data attached. It is maintained by another department at my firm and it is connected to another data source. I need to count the number of entries with responsible party pending in column M
=COUNTIFS(M:M,"pending",month(C:C),"<=3")
=COUNTIFS(M:M,"pending",TEXT(C:C,"m"),"<=3")
Any help would be appreciated.
welcome to the forum. COUNTIFS cannot handle it that way. if it's simply 2014 you want to count, try:
=COUNTIFS(M:M,"pending",C:C,">=1jan2014",C:C,"<=31mar2014")
or with SUMPRODUCT (this will include other years if you have them. dont use whole column for this too)
=SUMPRODUCT((M2:M20="pending")*(MONTH(C2:C20)<=3))
Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

Hi
Try with SUMPRODUCT
Formula:
=SUMPRODUCT((M2:M10000="pending")*(MONTH(C2:C10000)>=3))
Pls note that the result of your example is 0(zer) as in column C does not exists a month <=3.
