As one of the pieces of logic in a formula I'm attempting, I want a count within a range (column) if the date (formatted as MM/DD/YY) falls within the year 2017. What do I need to change in the formula as shown in my screen shot?
Hi Tyler,
=COUNTIF({NEW ACE MASTER LIST Range 9}, YEAR(@cell) = 2017) will get you out of trouble.
Thanks for the reply, Chris. I've seen that function before in my research, but I still get the #UNPARSEABLE error. See my updated screenshot below according to your suggesting to see if I missed any spaces, commas, etc.
Hi Tyler. My pleasure.
Your formula looks correct. Could you please confirm that your source range inside the { } is definitely a date?
Yes, I've double-checked that the data range is for sure a date. Not only that, I made sure there are dates within 2017 for the formula to count. I'm stumped. (The error is actually #INVALID DATA TYPE. In my previous comment, I said it was #UNSPARSEABLE.)
Oh OK, that changes things. Can you also confirm that the column your formula lives in is also a date format?
I tried your suggestion of changing the formula column to a DATE type of column, but the error is #INVALID REF now (not sure why the error type keeps changing).
The invalid Ref error states that the existing range doesn't exist. I would double check your reference to the other sheet, and even recreate it to see if that solves your problem.

Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. 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…
