# Comparing dates in categories.

Hello,

I am trying to only use a formula and not VBA.

I have 3 different columns I need to use for my formula: A category, a due date, and an actual date. I need to be able to calculate how many entries for each category have an actual date that is later than the due date.

With the formula =SUMPRODUCT((C2:C13>B2:B13)*1), I am able to determine the count for all of the parts that have an actual date past the due date. However, I am unable to find a formula that works with separating this information into each category.

In my attached example, I see that there are 4 entries that are late using my above formula. 1 is in category A, 2 are in category B, and 1 is in category C. However, I do not have a formula that tells me this information for each category.

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

Hello @Justine714,

try in cell A17

=SUMPRODUCT((\$C\$2:\$C\$13>\$B\$2:\$B\$13)*(\$A\$2:\$A\$13=A\$16))

copy to the right.
