Formula to count two different values in the same column

Kelly Ospina

I'm trying to create a summary field formula to count two different values in the same column. The formula seems to work, but it returns a value of "0" which I know is not correct.

=COUNTIFS(PMActivity:PMActivity, "303", PMActivity:PMActivity, "307")

Hoping someone can point out where I've gone wrong on this one.

Thank you for your help!

Happy to help!

Try something like this instead.

=COUNTIFS(PMActivity:PMActivity, 303) + COUNTIFS(PMActivity:PMActivity, 307)

Did it work?

Hi @Kelly Ospina

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS(PMActivity:PMActivity, 303, PMActivity:PMActivity, 307)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi Andre,

Thank you for the reply.

Unfortunately, that still gives me a count of "0" when I can see that zero is not the correct result. I feel like maybe the formula is looking for BOTH of those responses at once in the cell, instead of if it is either of those, count it? Perhaps?
