Check column of dates against todays date

A

Andrew82

I have a column of dates that I need to sort through. At the moment I am using

=COUNTIF(E8:E1000,"<15/04/2005")

to check dates that were before todays date. Now I would like to have this
formula change with the date. I have tried having a cell with =TODAY() in it
then referencing that cell in the formula:

=COUNTIF(E8:E1000,"<A1") but it just returns 0. Any ideas?

Hope so!!

Andrew,

Try

=COUNTIF(E8:E1000,"<"&TODAY())

or

=COUNTIF(E8:E1000,"<"&A1)
