    I need to insert the date of my monthly meetings in a spreadsheet, and I then need to count the number of meetings and insert this value in another spread sheet.
    I can do it using 2 columns but would prefer one :)
    So
    my current spreadsheet looks like
    Date Counter
    23/11/2018 1
    24/11/2018 1

    I have tried CountIf but no joy
    =CountIF(a1: a10,"*")
    and
    =CountIF(A1:A10, "??????2018"
    Thanks as always

    Maybe something like this copied down (I suspect there's a way simpler method):

    =IF(YEAR(A1)>=YEAR(NOW()),COUNTIF($A$1:A1,">0"),"")

    I just made text from the date by adding '23/11/2018 makes =CountIF(a1: a10,"*") work
