I have a sheet that is populated by a form. Form is completed at a front desk for when employees forget their ID badge.

I need a formula to count when an employee forgets their badge 3 or more times within a 3 month period. (Unique column to count would be their email column)

    Hi,

    Hope you are having a fantastic Monday!

    I typically use the Pivot App for this type of solution. As long as you have date and name (or email) columns, you can run the pivot to update automatically. Set the name as rows and date as columns then you can count the name.

    Does this work?

    Something along the lines of:

    =COUNTIFS([Employee contact]:[Employee contact], [Employee contact]@row, Date:Date, (@cell >= TODAY(-90)))

    You can do it to be months rather than days, but the formula would end up being a bit more complex due to year end/starts.

    Hope this helps, if you've any problems/questions then just post!
