Hi Johnson,
Good day,
Please try to use below formula. Formula may simplyfy your requirement but not completely fulfill your requirement because specific date range is not considered.
Considering patient name in A colum (cell no. A51), and visited date in B column (cell no. B51). Since I have used SUMIF function I have added one more column i.e "sum_range" in column C (cell no. C51.
=SUMIF(A51:A58,E51,C51:C58)
Using SUMIF function:- Patient name (if range) Visited on Sum Range Patient name No. of time attended ABCD 01-Jan 1 ABCD 3 BCDE 05-Jan 1 CDEF 10-Feb 1 DEFG 15-Feb 1 ABCD 01-Mar 1 BCDE 10-Mar 1 ABCD 01-May 1 BCDE 09-May 1 For more clear understanding please use attached work sheet.
Regards,
Manoj P.

Dear Wendy,
If your data is in cells A1 to a100,
Minimum Date is in cell B1 and
Maximum Date is in cell B2,
Then use the below formula.
=COUNTIFS($A$1:$A$100,">="&B1,A1:A19,"<="&B2)
Change the cell references as required.
Kindly let me know if this is what you wanted to do.
