Hi All,

Someone help me with this.

I have 4 columns, TODAY, THIS WEEK, LAST WEEK and THIS MONTH…

I am trying to count all the rows in a certain sheet that are THIS WEEK and marked "Ordered".

=COUNTIFS({INTAKE SHEET 1 DATE}, TODAY(7), {INTAKE SHEET 1 STATUS}, HAS(@cell, "Ordered"))

My issue - this formula (when changing the parameters) is working for ALL my other columns except this week. So for last week I have the -7 in the today column, in the today it is blank just the ().

Why is it NOT working for this week? It pulls 0 results in.. and I AM LOST. Please help..

Thanks in advance!

    Your current formula is only going to pull rows where the date is more than 7 days in the future. To get it to pull fr the next seven days, you would need something more like this:

    =COUNTIFS({Minerva Doses - NAV Range 1}, AND(@cell >= TODAY(), @cell <= TODAY(7)), {Minerva Doses - NAV Range 3}, HAS(@cell, "Ordered"))

    The formula you have is only look at 7 days ago and not the days in between. You would need to add a >= infront of TODAY(7)

  • Hi Holly Green,

    While this helped me to get ALL the doses for my other formulas - it is NOT helping me get this 1 formula to work.

    I have it as: =COUNTIFS({Minerva Doses - NAV Range 1}, >=TODAY(7), {Minerva Doses - NAV Range 3}, HAS(@cell, "Ordered"))

    Can you help me figure out why ONLY this one isnt working? There are 13 values that meet the criteria of being within the next 7 days and have a order status of "Ordered".. All my Other formulas are working fine, but this one it is like willfully not finding the data.


    Thanks!

    You may need to do this where you have ">=TODAY(7)" it is looking for anything 7 days or more from today

    To look between today and 7 days out try this:

    AND(@cell >= TODAY(), @cell <= TODAY(+7))

    Hope this helps!
