Mike,

 

That's like

=COUNTIF(A:A,TODAY())

and

=COUNTIFS(A:A,"<"&TODAY(),A:A,">="&(TODAY()-30))

Hi Sergei, 

 

Thank you so much for your help!

 

I have used the first one and it works perfectly! thank you

 

But, I need the second one to display the amounts of dates in total that occur before today? 

 

Thanks

 

Mike

    Mike, if before today

    =COUNTIFS(A:A,"<"&TODAY())

     or you need number of dates, not number of records? For example, if today is Apr 18, and you have 3 records for Apr 16 and two records for Apr 17, above formula returns 5. If calculate only dates it shall be 2, please clarify what is required.
