Try one of these..

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A100>0)*(B1:B100=0))

=SUMPRODUCT((ISNUMBER(A1:A100))*(ISBLANK(B1:B100)))

Apply filter on both the colums. On end date column remove tick mark
from end date column> Blanks on the status bar you can see the number
of cells being displayed. Else you can use =SUBTOTAL(3,A:A) in any of
the visible cells it would return the count.

A third option can be =COUNTA(A1:A100)-COUNTBLANK(B1:B100)

Hope that helps,
Anand
