COUNTIF Function

Im trying to count 2 columns on a issue sheet and want to count out each specific type (Risk, Action, Issue, Decision) that are open (not counting the closed or in progress types)

I have these formuals but its not producing a result

=COUNTIF(Type1:Type50, "Risk", [Status1]:[Status50], "Open")
=COUNTIF(Type1:Type50, "Action", [Status1]:[Status50], "Open")
=COUNTIF(Type1:Type50, "Issue", [Status1]:[Status50], "Open")
=COUNTIF(Type1:Type50, "Decision", [Status1]:[Status50], "Open")

As an aside, why do I have to select a range and not just the entire column?

Any help experts? Thank you for any guidance. I'm one week into SS, loving it.

Yep. You can reference the entire column by just using the column name between a colon. [Column Name]:[Column Name]

Good find.
