Counting dates with Conditional Formatting
Ok...
I'm only looking at columns J & K... Your conditional formatting is based on column L not being "D" so you have to consider that to count the "red cells". I'm not actually counting "red cells". I'm using the logic of *why* the cells are red to arrive at the count. So, for columns J & K use this formula: =SUMPRODUCT(--(((J13:J120"")*(J13:J120=C9))+((K13:K120"")*( K13:K120=C9))0),--(L13:L120"D")) The correct result is 35.

Counting dates with Conditional Formatting
Moving in the same lines. I have another question for you. In the same sheet,
how can I count the number of rows which have red dates? So, a row might have 1 or 4 or 6 red dates but we will just count it as one. In a nutshell, i want to count the total number of rows having red dates, no matter how many they have. Thanks again for your help. "T. Valko" wrote: You're welcome.
