HELP with COUNTIFS :( I have a single hair left, please save it

[RichardX720]

I have an excel document that I created on OSX Excel 2016. I no longer have a Mac and now using Windows Excel 2019. I opened the sheet and added more content for it to calculate and everything went to 0's...

I cannot figure it out why.. I only pasted a few lines of VData below but you get the example.. Its USED to count how many times "UserName 1" showed up in Column C of VData inbetween the dates mentioned checked against Colum D of VData. The cell dates are dd/mm/yyyy and I am using US Region but I have tried to change region to NL and still doesnt work... PLEASE HELP!!

VData

FYI you'd be better off not hardcoding the date string in the criteria - use a DATE function - eg:

">="&DATE(2020,12,31)

which cannot be misconstrued.

My GOD your a rockstar... I was just looking for a way to do that

 

[RoryA]

Better yet, put the date in a cell and refer to that. You then format it to just display the month name for example.
