SUMPRODUCT search between two dates

Hi,

I would appreciate any help on this formula.

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(Table211[Date],"mmyy")=TEXT($B3,"mmyy"))*(Table211[Inspection Type]=F$1))

What I'm trying to do is have the formula return the count of inspections by type between two dates (measuring quarters).
The code works fine when counting items for a month from one date.

So in a nutshell how would you get the section:

=TEXT($B3,"mmyy"))

To count between two date ranges e.g. I have a table listing Q1 1-Jan-12 31-Mar-12 in separate cells.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

To check between 2 dates,
the required condition's syntax is something like this:
(Range>= -- "Start Date")*(Range<= -- "End Date")
eg: (Range>= -- "1-Jan-12")*(Range<= -- "31-Mar-12")

Thanks Max. Its still not working for me, I've tried different variations of the formula you posted.

Maybe to clear things up, I just need it to search between the two dates, for example:

=SUMPRODUCT((TEXT(Table211[Date],"mmyy")=TEXT($B3,"mmyy"))*(Table211[Inspection Type]=G2))
*in this section here I just want it to return results between the dates I have in B3 and C3.

So how would I make (Range>= -- B3)*(Range<= -- C3) work in this formula?

> ... (Range>= -- B3)*(Range<= -- C3)
If your Start and End Dates are housed within cells, then the double minus is not required,
viz: (Range>= B3)*(Range<= C3)
where B3 and C3 must contain real dates

Try something like this in your expression, indicatively:
=SUMPRODUCT( (Range>= B3)*(Range<= C3)*(Table211[Inspection Type]=G2))
