Count number of occurrences in a date range with formulas

Here I introduce a formula to quickly count the occurrence between two dates.

Select a blank cell that you want to place the count result, and enter this formula =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A14>=$D$1)*(A2:A14<=$D$2)), press Enter key. Now the number of occurrence in date range has been counted.

In above formula, A2:A14 is the data list you want to count from, and D1 is the start date, D2 is the end date. You can change them as you want.
