How to create a Dynamic list of dates
Hi all 🙂 I thought this would be easy but once again I'm struggling. I just need to create a list of dates starting from H4 that correspond to the ? in red, and, have a single cell that keeps track of the number of dates that this list has as more appear and older ones are resolved....
As always my thanks and gratitude in advance to the amazing Excel community 🙂
Perhaps you mean something like in attached.

Hogstad_Raadgivning Thank you for your formula. I see the ranges go to C and D 383 but it only returns 2 results and the spill is in a row not a column. Not sure why....But it is much closer to what I am seeking. I have attached an expanded version of the sample workbook with manually inputted (random) dates to show what it should visually look like. I found that the simple COUNTA function will count the dates when like this (but do not know whether this works with a spill function, I assume it will ) I have also given in a post more detail of the functionality of the workbook if it would help to read this.
Thankyou again Geir but still not working.

=COUNTA(D4:D34)
In case you want to count the number of dates.
Please have a look at the inserted file.
I would be happy to know if I could help.

- At the same time I have just used the Counta function after manually creating dates in H4 an it counts them beautifully. That does solve that half of the problem 🙂 Thank you Nikolino 🙂
NikolinoDE Thankyou for your response Nikolino. Unfortunately this is not what I need. It is not how many ? marks per month but a list of the dates next to them. Also, as there will be other letters in Column D it does really need to then, I believe, count the dates that appear in that list. What you have seen is just a small sample of much larger spreadsheet and I need to access the dates to resolve the problems associated with them. But thankyou for your 1st reply. 🙂 Peter
- You write: Also, as there will be other letters in Column D it does really need to then, I believe, count the dates that appear in that list.
if I may ask, what letters?
I only see a question mark
Please explain exactly the function you want to create and use or add real data as far as possible (please, no sensitive data).
Thank you for your patience and time.
