I am trying to count how many dates have a specific YEAR in a cell for a given row...

Briana

=COUNTIF([Date of first absence]:[Date of first absence], YEAR(@cell) = 2021)

It keeps giving me #INVALID DATA TYPE

You most liekly either have non-date values or blanks in the range. Try this:

=COUNTIFS([Date of first absence]:[Date of first absence], IFERROR(YEAR(@cell), 0) = 2021)
