Sheet Summary Formula for Adding Date Range

I am trying to count how many trainings we have starting in each quarter. I am trying to use:

=SUMIFS([Learning Request Name]:[Learning Request Name], [Proposed Delivery Start Date]:[Proposed Delivery Start Date], >=DATE(2024, 01, 01), [Proposed Delivery Start Date]:[Proposed Delivery Start Date], <=DATE(2024, 03, 31))

I am getting an unparseable. Any suggestions?

    SUMIFS add numbers. Without context, I assume that the column Learning Request Name is not a number.

    You may use COUNTIIFS to count dates that are between the range you have.

    =COUNTIFS(
    [Proposed Delivery Start Date]:[Proposed Delivery Start Date], >=DATE(2024, 1, 1),
    [Proposed Delivery Start Date]:[Proposed Delivery Start Date], <=DATE(2024, 3, 31))
