Health Status Formula
Hi!
Currently, I have a formula in place to indicate R,Y,G Health based on the Start/Due Date. Is it possible to add an =OR function so that if "Status" column is switched to complete the Health will indicate green.
Sorry .. very new to this.

Re: Dashboards: Only one of 100+ dashboards has zoom options?
Thanks @Barak Schriger! That solves the mystery and why we haven't been able to revert it. Great tip about the "Zoom to Fit" option.
Countifs/Sumifs with multiple criteria which reference another sheet
I'm trying to make a Metrics sheet to use on a dashboard. I would like to count all of the instances of each (text) heading which fall during this month, then a second column for last month.
I can't get the dates to work so I created helper columns with the month, year, and month+year combined (ex April 2025 would be 42025).
Here is one formula that works: (Count Column is just a column containing the number 1 because Countifs was not working with the same inputs)
SUMIFS({Count Column}, {Defect Name}, [Defect Name]@row, {Year Helper}, =2025)
Here is what I want to work, but is returning #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET
SUMIFS({Count Column}, {Defect Name}, [Defect Name]@row, {Month/Year Helper}, =42025)
or
SUMIFS({Count Column}, {Defect Name}, [Defect Name]@row, {Year Helper}, =2025, {Month Helper}, =4)
I have checked my references, and they are correct and spelled correctly. Every time I try to add a 3rd range/criterion, I get error messages, even if they work individually. The helper columns are text columns containing formulas
EDIT As soon as I posted this, I went back to the sheet and all of the formulas are working. No idea what happened. I didn't change anything

That's a tough one, as my friends and family cannot even figure out what I do, even after I explain it!. I am a Business Analyst. I spend everyday working with 2 different software's: Microsoft Excel and Smartsheet. It is my job to create something new for people, as a project or report. Or to find a way to make their current process better. Better meaning, it has less errors, is faster, and the process is simpler. That is called Process Improvement, and once I do that cross-training can happen, meaning other people can learn that task. I am often called a Miracle Worker and Magician, as once I complete a new project, people still don't understand how I made it happen.

Re: My formulas on my Metric sheet are calculating 0 and I'm not sure why
You are using a SUMIF function. This is used to add numbers together. It looks to me like you are more trying to count the number of instances in which case you would want a COUNTIF or COUNTIFS function instead.
