Summary Sheet formula to count # of rows within 30 days of today

Hi, I am trying to create a formula in a sheet summary that will count how many cells are within 30 days of today's date based on a date column. I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?


Thanks!

    Try this if you're looking for in dates in the past 30 days, or if you're looking for dates in the next 30 days change the TODAY(-30) to TODAY(+30):

    =COUNTIF([Date Column]:[Date Column], >TODAY(-30))

    If you want to count rows with dates within 30 days in the past or within 30 days in the future:

    =COUNTIFS([Date Column]:[Date Column], >TODAY(-30)),[Date Column]:[Date Column], <TODAY(+30))

    Hello,

    I have a similar problem, have a column "Date Closed" and want to add a Sheet Summary field that shows how many jobs have closed within the past 30 days. I've done a manual count and have 10 cells that meet this criteria. I've used the formula:

    =COUNTIF([Date Closed]:[Date Closed], <TODAY(-30))

    but it is returning a count of 0. What am I doing wrong?

    Anyone's help would be massively appreciated!

    Thanks

    Hi @Susan Kane

    Your formula is checking for everything that is before 30 days ago.

    Try something like this.

    =COUNTIFS([Date Closed]:[Date Closed], >=TODAY(-30), [Date Closed]:[Date Closed], <=TODAY())
    

    Did that work?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
