Hi All,

I am trying to count orders if they fall within the current month/year indicated on the metric sheet (which updates automatically monthly) and are not marked cancelled. I am getting an invalid data type error and cannot figure out why. Can anyone help?

=COUNTIFS({Alkermes - Archive Production Log | Cancelled}, false, {Archive Production Log | QAD ATS}, MONTH(@cell) = [Month #]@row, {Archive Production Log | QAD ATS}, YEAR(@cell) = Year@row)

    Hi @Amy D

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Try updating your formula to include IFERROR for the MONTH and YEAR.

    Try something like this.

    =COUNTIFS({Alkermes - Archive Production Log | Cancelled}, false, {Archive Production Log | QAD ATS}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell),0) = [Month #]@row, {Archive Production Log | QAD ATS}, IFERROR(YEAR(@cell),0) = Year@row)

    Did that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
