Hello,

I am using the formula below to count the number of incidents in the month of January

=SUMPRODUCT(1*(MONTH('Data Sheet'!$P$2:$P$1009)=1))

There are only about 30, but it is returning 900. It seems to be counting blanks as January.

Is there a way blank cells can be ignored?

Thank you,

How about
=SUMPRODUCT(('Data Sheet'!$P$2:$P$1009<>"")*(MONTH('Data Sheet'!$P$2:$P$1009)=1))
