Formulas

hello,

I am trying to create a portion on my dashboard where I can show how many items were not approved by the business per workstream.

I can count generally how many were not approved but not sure what formula to use to insert the detail " by workstream".

I use "COUNTIF" should I be using a different formula?

Hi,

You can use COUNTIFS formula to pull this information.

=COUNTIFS({workstream column range}, "Workstream name", {status column range}, "Not Approved")

Thank you!

Hi!

It is not populating on the sheet. I've been sure that all content matches the sheet I am referring to.

Hi @abraxton

Can we confirm you used countifS? It would be helpful to see a screen capture of your sheet with the formula open (showing the full formula) but please block out sensitive data.

Thanks,

Genevieve

Hi @abraxton

Thank you for the image! It looks like the formula is working (the syntax is correct) but it's not finding a match for your two criteria so it's returning 0.

To test and see where the match is failing, try counting each of the criteria individually:

=COUNTIFS({WORKSTREAM 1}, [Primary Column]@row)

=COUNTIFS({STATUS OF REQUIREMENTS}, "Not Approved")

If one of these returns 0, this tells us that the "criteria" is not being found on your source sheet and you may need to check the {Reference} or the exact text that you're searching for to see where the mismatch is happening.

Cheers,

Genevieve
