Compare two date columns

Hi all i need to compare two columns which has dates (1000 rows approx), and if they are equal then i need to get the count of rows in one cell, similary count of rows which are not equal in another cell, thanks in advance for your help.

like if dates in column A and B matches then i need to get the count in C2

If dates are not matching i need to get count in C3

hi
I would use a couple of if statements, in column D
=if(a2=B2,"yes","no")

run that all the way down the side of the dates, then in C2 and C3 run a countif
=countif(d1:d200,"=yes")
=countif(d1:d200,"=no")
