So if I wanted to count everything within that date range, but have it displayed on a separate sheet, what would the formula look like?
User 16/08/2018 - 03:05
I have a vague idea, but can't seem to get it right
Excelchat Expert 16/08/2018 - 03:05
That will be the same

User 16/08/2018 - 03:05
Don't I need to specify which sheet it's coming from?

If I wanted the total to be displayed on Sheet 2, but the data was on Sheet 1, how do I specify in the formula where the data is coming from?
Excelchat Expert 16/08/2018 - 03:11
Sure
Excelchat Expert 16/08/2018 - 03:12
AS you can see once you click the tab you need to sum the number then excel wil recognize it
User 16/08/2018 - 03:13
OK cool! One last question. If, instead of counting within a range (like A1:A10), how could I count within a whole column? Would I simply remove the :A10?
Excelchat Expert 16/08/2018 - 03:13
