Google Sheets formula prompt

What most people type

google sheets formula that counts how many rows in column B are dates in the last 30 days

Write a Google Sheets formula that counts how many rows in column B contain a date within the last 30 days (up to and including today). Ignore blank cells and text. Give the formula, then one or two lines explaining how it works and how to change the range if my data starts below row 1 (for example, a header row).

Why this version works

• Defined 'last 30 days' window boundaries. Avoids ambiguity about today and future dates.
• Excluded blanks and text. Prevents miscounts from non-date cells.
• Asked for formula plus short explanation. Quick how-to needs the answer and a brief note.
• Noted header row handling. Column ranges often include a header.
