IFS Formula with Past Due, Not Completed

olga.barabash

Hi,

Hoping I can get some assistance on a formula for to give me a count if the following is met:

Count the # where: Type column is "Task" or "Sub-Task", Task Status column is "Not Started" or "In Progress" and End Date column is Today or In the Past

I would like to not add any additional columns.

Thanks!

Hi Olga,

I'm not 100% certain what you're looking to do here, but if all you want is to check for a criteria match, then the following will do the job:

=IF(AND(OR([Type]:[Type] = "Task", [Type]:[Type] = "Sub-Task"), OR([Task Status]:[Task Status] = "Not Started", [Task Status]:[Task Status] = "In Progress"), [End Date]:[End Date] <= TODAY()), "True", False")

Chris, thanks for pointing it out that my original question was not complete.

I would like to get a count if the criteria that I have mentioned is met.

 

Thanks!

Hi Olga,

You'll then need to use COUNTIFS. Without adding any more columns the formula will be much more convoluted than a simple nested IF as COUNTIFS does not support AND/OR statements, so we'd need to cheat with multiple COUNTIFS being added together. It will be a mess.

I'd strongly suggest using the original formula above in a Check column and then simply adding the following formula into the cell you'd like to display the count (not in the Check, Task Status, Type or End Date columns):

COUNTIF(Check:Check,"True")

You can even hide the Check column so it will not be visible to users.
