I want to count the start date column only if there is nothing in the end
date column.
From: js20217075 on
Please help! I only have 1/2 an hour to figure this out.

The clearer the question, the faster the response, and vice versa. Things
that help are the version of Excel you are using, and where the data is
(column A, B, etc.). For this, I've assumed your start date is in A, and
your end date is in B.

For all entries in A, where there is no entry in B:
=sumproduct(--(a1:a1000<>""),--(b1: b1000=""))
Adjust the range to suit.

For specific entries in A, with no entry in B:
=sumproduct(--(a1:a1000=date(2010,1,1)),--(b1:b1000=""))

Regards,
Fred

Try
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100<>"")*(B1:B100=""))

This isn't working. OMG do you know anything else to try?
