Hi,
I have a sheet with two date columns. I want to count the rows where only one of the date columns have a value. I´ve tried to create a third column with a formula that sets it to 0 or 1 depending on whether the second date column ISBLANK. It works but a cant count the zero's or one's since it seems smartsheet cant count the result of a formula in a cell. Any ideas on how to do this better?
Thanks!

If your count formula is in a Checkbox type column, convert it to text like this
=YOUR_FORMULA + ""
for example
=COUNT([Date]:[Date]) + ""
If you need to use that number in a calculation somewhere else, use VALUE() in the formula referencing it.

=COUNTIFS(DateA:DateA, NOT(ISBLANK(@cell)), DateB:DateB, ISBLANK(@cell)) + COUNTIFS(DateB:DateB, NOT(ISBLANK(@cell)), DateA:DateA, ISBLANK(@cell))
There might be a shorter way, but my coffee has not kicked in yet.

All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
