Dick:

Sincere thanks. I've finally realised the necessity for the "cntrl shift enter"... I know that you told me this at the start, but for some reason, i did not do this... Now that I have... it works great!

Kind regards!

Steven (and Jimbo): I think this, but make sure you check it.

=1+INT((B4-(DATE(YEAR(B4),7,2)-WEEKDAY(DATE(YEAR(B4),7,0))))/7)

I have the same question as Jimbo and I noticed that no-one had answered it so I’m going to ask the question again. What happens if you need to have Week 1 as the start of the financial Year?

James:

=SUM((A2:A5DATE(2007,1,0))+(ISBLANK(B2:B5))))

This example uses January, not September. If I understand you correctly, you want the count of all projects that were open at any time in January. This formula tests:

Open date before February AND (Close date later than 31-Dec OR No close date)

With the data from your last two posts, it returns 4.

cell b4: 2-1-07
cell a5:1-1-07
Cell b5: 15-1-07

This should give all cases that either start before or on, and end in or after
OR do not yet end.

Thanks again!

Ok,

I see how this formula should work, even with dates that end within the month... however it doesn't.

Cell A1: Start Date
Cel B1: End Date
Cell A2: 1-10-06
Cell b2:
Cell a3: 3-3-06
cell b3: 2-3-07
Cell A4: 1-12-06

Dick!

Wow! This is the closet I've got yet to figuring this out!

"Open date is before October" is complete good, however,
"AND (Close date is after Sept OR no close date)" needs to have also the possibility of "OR Close date is within Sept"

This is where I come into problems because the only way I can figure this out is to put in an "OR Close date is (2007,9,1)OR Close date is (2007,9,2)...etc...etc...

Any further help would be sincerely appreciated!

=SUM((A2:A80DATE(2007,9,30))+(ISBLANK(B2:B80))))

Enter with Control+Shift+Enter because it's an array formula. Here's what it says in English:

Open date is before October AND (close date is after Sept OR no close date)

Dick: Sincere thanks for your offer to help! What I need is a creative count formula. I know the "countif" function that will allow me to see what cases opened on "1/9/07? (for example), however what I want to know is...
if column A is "Date Case Opened" and column B is "Date Case Closed" - what formula would be able to look at A2:A888 and B2:B888 to count all the cases that were open in Sept of 07, (for example).

Some of the cases are open for a month, some are open for a year...

Does this help explain the situation better?

Thanks again, in advance for your assistance!

James: What does ‘run a table’ mean? Do you want a count or a list or what? Send me some sample data by email and I’ll show you how to get what you want.
