Formula for counting overdue actions.

Mikehud83

I would like to use a COUNTIFS formula to count the actions that are overdue. I've tried using the following formula, but get the error "#UNPARSEABLE" (without the quotation marks).

=Countifs([Due Date]:[Due Date],[Due Date}<=TODAY(),Status:Status,<>"Complete")

I have put together a similar formula for counting actions that will be due soon, with the same result.

=Countifs([Due Date]:[Due Date],(TODAY()-[Due Date])<8, Status:Status,<>"Complete")

What do I need to do to make these formulas work? Thanks for any insights you can offer!

Try this one: 

=COUNTIFS([due date]:[due date], <TODAY(), status:status, <>"Complete")

=COUNTIFS([due date]:[due date], <TODAY(8), status:status, <>"Complete")

You don't need to add the column title to the condition. 

Also, adding the 8 to Today will count everything coming in the next 8 days.
