Hi
I am trying to count the number of items that are for a particular month and year.
eg: I would like to count the number of items submitted for the month of Jan 2018
the column I am wanting to pull the data from is a date column
Hi Kim,
As per the screencap:
Month - dropdown with January, February etc.
Year - dropdown with 2017, 2018 etc. (as per your requirements)
Count - formula: =COUNTIF([Submitted Merged]:[Submitted Merged], [Search Date]1)
Submitted Date: Just a regular date field
Search Date - formula: =IF(Month1 = "January", 1 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "February", 2 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "March", 3 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "April", 4 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "May", 5 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "June", 6 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "July", 7 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "August", 8 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "September", 9 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "October", 10 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "November", 11 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "December", 12 + " " + Year1, ""))))))))))))
Submitted Merged - formula: =IF(LEN([Submitted Date]1) > 0, MONTH([Submitted Date]1) + " " + YEAR([Submitted Date]1), "")
You can then hide the Search Date and Submitted Merged columns when you're satisfied it works OK.
I used Month & Year dropdowns to provide a nicer user experience, but you can simplify the whole thing by just asking the user to pick a date.
Hope this helps.
Hi Chris
Thank you for your help but unfortunately I cannot get the formulas to work. I keep getting an error.
I am sure I am missing a detail but can't seem to identify it.
Count formula shows a blocked error
Search Date formula shows a unparseable error
Submitted Marge formula accepts the formula but shows no results
I have created columns as per your suggestion and added the formulas to the first row of each column

Hello! I have this formula that will check the box if the date in a second column is in the past. Is there a way to include if the date is 60 days in the future? Check the box if the date in Column 2 is either (1) in the past or (2) 60 days in the future. IF([GWO - BST (2yr)]@row < TODAY(), 1, 0) Thank you in advance!
Is there a way to automatically update my dropdown list for a form if I have a new item added? I have a New Order Entry form. I have a dropdown list of customers, but if it is a new customer, there is a checkbox to allow more fields to open up to enter that information. If that information is added, it gets copied to a…
Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to use the NETDAYS formula to show how long someone has been a member of a certain team. I can't get it to measure to today using the formula that the website suggests. I want it to be running so that whenever I log on I can see the time elapsed to the day I'm looking at the sheet. Can…
