COUNTIFS with FIND and ISDATE

Hello,

I'm trying to create a COUNTIFS formula to count cells in a separate sheet that contain 000 in their 6 digit ID number column and have a date in a different column.

The formula below is giving an error:

=COUNTIFS(({Dashboard Source Sheet Store #}, FIND("000", @cell) > 0), {Dashboard Source Sheet AIC Date}, ISDATE(@cell))

Thanks in advance!

Are you getting an error message or an incorrect count?

Hi @EmilyG

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this. (you had one too many parentheses after COUNTIFS.

=COUNTIFS({Dashboard Source Sheet Store #}, FIND("000", @cell) > 0), {Dashboard Source Sheet AIC Date}, ISDATE(@cell)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@Andrée Starå I don't think there were too many parenthesis at the end. There should be 2. One to close out the ISDATE function and another to close out the COUNTIFS.

It looks like the post was edited to include it is outputting an error after I asked about that, so I am guessing that if it is parenthesis related it would be with the set surrounding the first range/criteria set.

=COUNTIFS({Dashboard Source Sheet Store #}, FIND("000", @cell) > 0, {Dashboard Source Sheet AIC Date}, ISDATE(@cell))

@EmilyG If the above does not work, can you provide the exact error you are getting?

@Paul Newcome

It was after the COUNTIFS. There were two. I usually remove all except one at the end to minimize the risk of issues.

=COUNTIFS(({Dashboard Source Sheet Store #}, FIND("000", @cell) > 0), {Dashboard Source Sheet AIC Date}, ISDATE(@cell))

@Andrée Starå Sorry about that. I thought you meant the one on the end and didn't even notice that you had removed the one immediately after the COUNTIFS. I still think the one after the FIND function needs removed as well though.

@Paul Newcome

No worries!

Yes, I think you're right that the one after the FIND part should also be removed.

Let's see what @EmilyG answers.

Hi @Paul Newcome and @Andrée Starå, thank you both for your feedback! I removed the extra parenthesis and now my formula is returning the correct value. Thanks again & have a great week!
