Hi all,
I've tried a few different formulas but can't figure out how to count the # of checked boxes in a column. My column is labeled "Approved" and has 131 cells, so I tried:
=COUNTIF(approved1:approved131, 1)
But I'm getting #BOOLEAN EXPECTED
That particular error means the formula is in a specific type of column (Date, Number, Symbol) and the returned value is of a different type.
You can either move the formula to a different column, or convert the result to the appropriate type.
Formula results may be converted to text values by adding an empty string. For example =TODAY() + "" will allow you to enter today's date into a text column.
What column type are you entering the formula into? That particular one needs to go into a text/number type column.
I'm looking to create a formula that will count the number of overdue tasks. This is based on the "assigned to", "status" and "due date". My current formula is =COUNTIFS({[Sheet Name]}, <TODAY(), {[Sheet Name]}, ="[Assigned To]"). However, this is pulling tasks that are due in the past, but are completed.
In the above image the green is the parent line, where some are calculating the child line %'s below, however in the lower half of the image it's not doing so. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
