Vlookup is adding quotes!
I am trying to count number people based on dates.
On one sheet I have an array that has names and dates for a particular course. ABG!$F$501:$F$599 On another sheet I have an array of formulas that are specific to that course. ""&EDATE(TODAY(),-24) On a 3rd sheet I am trying to count the number of people that have dates within my specific range. =COUNTIF(ABG!$F$501:$F$599,(VLOOKUP(B5,Courses!$A$ 1:$C$24,3,FALSE))) I am trying to make the sheet complete lookups based on the course. The courses can possibly be moved in the future or else I would simply put the formula in the counting cell. =COUNTIF(ABG!$F$501:$F$599,""&EDATE(TODAY(),-24)) My problem is vLookup is automatically adding in quotes so it looks like this: =COUNTIF(ABG!$F$501:$F$599,"""""&EDATE(TODAY(),-24)") I tried removing the quotes from the cell reference but when the quotes are added it comes back: =COUNTIF(ABG!$F$501:$F$599,"&EDATE(TODAY(),-24)") and I need there to be a " after the sign or the formula will not work. Of course being a man I hate asking for help but I need it so here I am asking. Thanks. |

I think you'll want to share those formulas on that other sheet.
Do they look like: =""&edate(today(),-24) or something else? Michael Enoksen wrote: I am trying to count number people based on dates.

I do not have = in front of the formula because I don't want it to...hmm I
suppose I could have it do the conversion in the one sheet and then have the vlookup refer to the result rather than using the formula. Unfortunately, I am no longer at my office computer so I will have to check that tomorrow. Thank you for a a possible direction...

If you don't have a formula in those cells, then edate() is just plain old
text--it won't be evaluated as a date.
