Hi Colin...you need to make "Today" a formula 

=COUNTIF(A2:O2,"<=(Today())")

That should do it...but I'm doing that with no morning coffee and Excel's
not even open yet, but I think I got the parentheses, etc, correct

Off to take my smashed little car to the car doctors :-(

Subject: [mso] CountIF help

Hi
I'm trying to do a check on the number of dates in a row which are less than
(or equal to) today's date. This figure would then be used in a calculation.

I have tried various options, but without success. My target is to have
=COUNTIF(a2:O2,"<=Today")
But I'm getting a 0 result, even tho there should be several. 
I've checked formatting for all dates is correct, and that the CountIF is
formatted as a Number. 
I must be missing something obvious, but can't see it. 
Thanks in advance.
