For some of the queries that I have posted, people have very kindly
given me the correct formulae to use. Some of these have included &
(for example,
=countif(A1:A100,"="&date(2004,9,1))-countif(A1:A100,""&date(2004,9,30)).
Please could someone tell me what the & actually does and how best to
use it?

Thank you.

The "&" is an operator that joins two items (it is the shortcut version
of concatenate). The items can be text strings, numbers or a cell
reference.

As an example, if cell A1 contains the word "Hello" and Cell B1
contains the word "Dolly" and you would like to join them in Cell C1,
then the formula that you will use is

=A1&""&B1

Hope this helps you.

The & (ampersand) is a concatinater.
