title: Google Spreadsheet: How To Counting Rows with specific date
body: <p>scenario: I'm using a Google form to track my calls per day with a timestamp, person called, event, and additional information which are then store in a spreadsheet. 
  need: At the end of the day I wanna know how many calls I placed and how often a certain event has happened in an additional column of my spreadsheet. 
  me: I don't know how to do this
  question: how can I do this? What do I need?</p>
  
  <p>I thought about counting the rows in column A (which has got the timestamp) somehow like this<br>
      <code>=COUNTIF(A:A;"DATE=TODAY")</code></p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance. If I left out some information needed for answering this question please let me know.</p>

  Thank you for your answer. I decided to make another sheet as my dashboard where I just count rows for the weeks, as I saw that they are sufficient as my key numbers. This is how I decided to do it
  <code>=COUNTIF(A$MONDAY:A$FRIDAY;"*reached*")</code><br>
  <em>Note:</em> I used * because there are more scenarios of how a client could be reached in the detailed spreadsheet, but I just need an overview of all clients reached. Instead of <code>$MONDAY</code>and <code>$FRIDAY</code> I use the number of the row for start and end of the week.</p>
  
  <p>For the calls placed I simple use <code>=COUNT(…)</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you for all your answers! Maybe I will add an array function someday ;)</p>
