I just tested this myself, and it still doesn't work, but I've fixed it.
My starting point for the formula was this:
=3DCOUNTIF(A1:A4,"<=3DTODAY()")
Just like you, I was expecting some hits, but got a zero. I started
thinking about the effect of putting a formula inside a string, and
realised that it wouldn't work that way. So I built a way of resolving
the function outside the string and then tagging the result onto it,
like this:
=3DCOUNTIF(A1:A4,"<=3D"&TODAY())
This version actually works like you want, Colin.
