I need to do a report that lists the number of Items that I have purchased in a given month. The things that I buy are listed in different excel workbooks. It lists the date of purchase such as 11/12/2005. I am trying to get my report to count the number items that were bought in the month of November. I have tried the countif funcion but can't figure on how to get it to count a range of dates. Any help would be appreciated.
