Formula for counting the number of times Incident OR Near Misses are reported in a Year

Rachael Stammers

Hi,

I am trying to write a formula for counting the number of times we have incidents OR near misses reported in a year.

The formula =COUNTIFS({Aviation Safety Reports Range 1}, =2020, {Aviation Safety Reports Range 2}, "Incident") is working for counting just incidents, but when I try to add an OR "Near Miss" on, it doesn't work.

All help greatly appreciated

Try this:

=COUNTIFS({Aviation Safety Reports Range 1}, =2020, {Aviation Safety Reports Range 2}, OR(@cell = "Incident", @cell = "Near Miss"

@cell needs to be in all lower case.

Hi,

I tried that formula =COUNTIFS({Aviation Safety Reports Range 1}, =2022, {Aviation Safety Reports Range 2}, OR(@CELL = "Incident", @CELL = "Near Miss")) but I get an #UNPARSEABLE message. Any ideas why? I'm pulling the information in from another sheet, not the sheet in which I'm writing the formula.

@cell needs to be in all lower case.
