countif adding up how many are in a certain month - excel

I am trying to get a formula that counts up how many cells contain this month and how many cell contain < than current month eg: in a column
March 2015
January 2016
April 2016
May 2016
May 2016
May 2016
June 2016
And then have a cell at the bottom that tells me 3 for May and 3 out of date

Assuming your data were in column A and you had 15 points, then the following two formulae should work.
Number of cells in the current month:
=COUNTIF(A1:A15, "5/1/2016")
Number of cells before the current month:
=COUNTIF(A1:A15,"<5/1/2016")

Dynamic SumIFs - Multiple Scenarios

I have a headcount data structured in the following way.
Data Structure:
Every month I append one dataset to another by pasting values in the first empty row in one main sheet.
1a. Therefore, one employee can be included in the sheet for more than one time.
There is a column that tells me if the person left the company this month or if he got hired.
I want to have an executive summary with a comparison of two months. I managed to have this working with a static data month over month (so for instance to have a walk from July to August, October to November, etc.) with using countifs.
Question:
I would like to have a dynamic selection in my summary sheet.
if I select January in one cell and September in another, the formulas will calculate how many hires and leavers were there from January until September.
If I select February in once cell and July in another, the formulas will calculate how many hires and leavers were there starting from February until July.
This is the exact formula I have for calculating Month Over Month change: =COUNTIFS(SSE_Reporting!$R:$R,MoM_Walk!$A5,SSE_Reporting!$AH:$AH,MoM_Walk!H$4,SSE_Reporting!$AK:$AK,MoM_Walk!U$1)
Please keep in mind below:
My dataset contains information starting January 2019 until today (and will be increased)
In the executive summary, I may want just to have the view from March 2019 until December 2019 (therefore, in this case, countifs will not work, because it will count either ALL leavers or just leavers for ONE specific month)
You could do a COUNTIFS to count how many Leaver/Hire you got in a given date range.
Something like this could guide you to deploy your own formula:
My formula in H4 is:
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$28;H$3;$B$2:$B$28;">="&$F4;$B$2:$B$28;"<="&$G4)
As you can see, it works perfectly to count the criteria on multiple given date ranges.

AVERAGEIFS Excel Formula Incorporated With Dates

so I have an excel file with 2 tabs. 1 tab lists some values for Aug - Dec 2019 is separate columns while the other tab is the average of every 3 months (ie: Aug - Oct 2019, Sept - Nov 2019, Oct - Dec 2019).
I am trying to create a formula to give me the average of 3 months (listed in tab 1) if the KRI_ID column (in column A) is the same.
Note: Dates are input in custom format (mmm-yy)
You dont need an Averageif formula, since the KRI_ID is unique to each row. You can simply enter the following formula in cell J2 and drag across then drag down from J2 for the rest of the rows:
=Average(J2:L2)

Excel Running Total if data in current month

I am trying to write a formula in Excel that will compare 2015 totals to 2016 totals and projections. If there is a value in the rows for January, February, March and April, I want the 2015 sum of those same months. Then the same for the projected
Screen capture of excel file
I like to use SUMPRODUCT() for something like this:
Projected:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$5:$B$16<>"")*$A$5:$A$16)
Actual:
=SUMPRODUCT(($B$5:$B$16<>"")*$D$5:$D$16)

Convert date column

I have data in an excel sheet. There I have a column with date values like this.
13 May 2012
27 August 2012
21 June 2012
18 March 2012
16 November 2011
15 December 2011
Is there a way to convert it to a format like this? 1998-12-25
I am assuming your dates are stored as strings. If one of your data is in cell A1, use in B1
=DATEVALUE(LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)&" "&LEFT(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,FIND(" ",RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(" ",A1)))-1),3)&" "&RIGHT(A1,4))
Then format B1 as Custom, Type: yyyy-mm-dd.
Shorter formulas are possible, in particular if you can assume that the day will always have two digits (e.g., 01, and never 1).
If your data are stored as numeric instead of string, then simply apply the formatting procedure described.

Conditional format to highlight date in date range

I have set as dates in row A all the Sundays of the year from A7-A60. I would like a conditional format so the current Sunday will be always highlighted whenever one opens that excel file.
I've tried setting that with WEEKDAY but could get it working.
I assume that by "current Sunday" you mean the one just passed, so on Saturday 3rd Jan the previous Sunday (28th December 2014) will be highlighted.....but during the period from 4th January to 10th January 2015 the Sunday 4th January 2015 date will be highlighted ...and so on through the year
To do that select the whole range and use this formula in conditional formatting:
=A7=TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+1
That works because the formula =TODAY()-WEEKDAY(TODAY())+1 always gives you the previous Sunday, so it's sufficient to see if A7 matches that date.
As your range only contains Sundays this version will also work in this case
=(A7<=TODAY())*(A7>TODAY()-7)
.....because that will highlight any date in the current week
