Trying to Count Two Different Values in a Cell

JE76

Hello All, I am missing something obvious here and cannot seem to figure it out.

In the column Uploaded status* I am simply trying to count all the values that are either Uploaded or Activated_Existing in Axis.

My argument is =COUNTIFS(Upload status*:Upload status*, "Uploaded")+ COUNTIFS(Upload status*:Upload status*, "Activated_Existing in Axis) but it keeps coming back with errors.

The column Upload status* is a dropdown column from a fixed list.

What am I doing wrong here? Help me Obi-Wan.

Remember, young jedi, to add square brackets to your column name for it to work....

[Upload status*]:[Upload status*]

and a closing quotation mark at the end

"Activated_Existing in Axis")

Thanks much Master Obi-Wan, That did the trick. The " was an obvious mistake but the brackets I didn't imagine I needed. Thanks.

No problem!

You need the square brackets around the column names if they contain spaces or end in a number.

Upload

is fine, but

Upload2024

Upload *

Upload Status

will not work.

Good luck with your remaining missions.
