Default Formaula for less than date and name begins with...!!! HELP!!!

IM trying to create a formula that gives me a total count for cells that are
less than 02/05/10 and the name begins with FHLM, heres what i came up
with...

=COUNTIF(E:E,"="&DATE(1900,1,1))-COUNTIF(E:E,"="&DATE(2010,2,5))+COUNTIF(E:E,DATE( 2010,2,5))-COUNTIF(U:U,"FHLM*")

I keep gettin a bunch of ###### or 0, depending on how I move the data
around..

Any ideas????

Yes, zero is the answer which your formula is certain to return.

Why did you change --(LEFT(U1:U100,4)="FHLM"))
to --(LEFT(U1:U89000)="FHLM*")) ?
