Furmula Not Working Properly

Bill Stadler

In the following Formula if I use ="Completed" I get the correct Count back. If I change it to <> "Completed" I get 0 returned where it should be 37.

=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, <>"Completed", [Due Date]:[Due Date], >DATE(2018, 11, 25), [Due Date]:[Due Date], <DATE(2018, 12, 3))

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bill

I was wrong, = is returning a value but not the correct one.

Are you looking for a "Not Equal To" Function?

If so, try the NOT() modifier. It'll look like this:

=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, NOT(@cell="Completed"), [Due Date]:[Due Date], >DATE(2018, 11, 25), [Due Date]:[Due Date], <DATE(2018, 12, 3))

The =@cell is there as a concrete reference to the cell being evaluated.. you may not need it.

Hope it helps!

Thanks, I was mistaken the = is working.  I will try the NOT(@cell="Completed"),

Thanks, that did it!
