Formula for counting processes published

FTesseneer

Hi , I need to count the number of processes published by the month. Below is the formula I tried but I get an invalid data error. I have also included a snip it of my sheet.

=COUNTIF([Publish Date]:[Publish Date], AND(MONTH(@cell) = 1, MONTH(@cell) = 2, MONTH(@cell) = 3))

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

I believe it is because you don't have actual dates in your date column, just the months. Have you tried to change the column type to a Date column and inputting an actual date such as 01/01/25?

Thank you Trang,

I tried that. Here is a snip it now and my formula now.

Still didn't work.

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF([Actual Publish Date]:[Actual Publish Date], IFERROR(MONTH(@cell ), 0) = 1)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Best,

=COUNTIF([Act Pub Date]:[Act Pub Date],IFERROR(Month(@cell ),0).=1)

Hi Andree, This is what I am getting now. I didn't use my other column because I don't want to change it again so I did a trial with this column. It seems like this should be so simple! All I want to know is the quantity for Jan, Feb, etc. I know I can manually enter it, but I thought I might could use a formula to automatically do it for me.

Thanks for your help!

=COUNTIFS([Actual Publish Date]:[Actual Publish Date], "Jan")

This is what I ended up doing to get the metric that I wanted. If anyone knows of a better way or better formula to use to get this result, please let me know. I really appreciate the support!

Below is the chart I want to show on my dashboard as a KPI.

I am open to suggestions on improvement of it as well!
