Excel countif - I need to count a list of policies that are within a date range (expired policies) and include specific transaction types.
Originally, I needed to do the countif based on excluding values. Now as the transaction types have grown, it would be more efficient to just include the values I want. Below was the formula based on excluding certain values.
=COUNTIFS(A1:A4,"<"&DATE(2018,1,15),B1:B4,"<>"&"Can",B1:B4,"<>"&"END") allows me to exclude values I don't want recorded.
Policies are defined by transaction type: New,Ren,End,Can, REN-1,REN-2 etc...
I only want to count New and Ren within the date formula above however when I edit the above formula to =COUNTIFS(A1:A4,"<"&DATE(2018,1,15),B1:B4,"New",B1:B4,"REN") I just get a 0 value Thanks for reading

I will go out on a limb and assume your question is "What's wrong with my formula?".
Try:
=COUNTIF(C6:C978,"<"&DATE(2018,10,31))
Edit: For multiple criteria you must use COUNTIFS
:
=COUNTIFS(A1:A4,"<"&DATE(2018,1,15),B1:B4,"<>"&"Can",B1:B4,"<>"&"END")
