Count if a cell has two values
I'm trying to count if a cell has the values of either 'Yes' or 'No' but am getting an 'Unparseable' error.
=COUNTIF([Description Format(correct format)]:[Description Format(correct format)],OR(@cell=“Yes”,@cell=“No”))
Help! Thanks in advance!

See how your quotes are slanted but "these" are not? Those slanted ones are called "smart quotes" which (ironically enough) are not recognized as valid characters in a Smartsheet formula. You will need to retype them directly in the sheet, here in the Community, or in a text editor such as Notepad (not Word).
