count({<Date={">=$(=AddMonths(Today(),-6))<=$(=Today())"}>}DISTINCT Product)

You count the distinct product with following conditions (Explicited by set analysis)

(A) AddMonths(Today(),-6) is a date starting 6 months before today

the whole condition ">=$(=AddMonths(Today(),-6))<=$(=Today())" says that the field Date must be

>=(A) and <= today

and finally you have to know that if you write (=Expression) the expression is evaluated so in your case

$(=AddMonths(Today(),-6))

computes the function Addmonths

Hope this helps
