Why won't my Nested COUNTIFS work?

Hoping the community can assist! smiley

These two COUNTIFS work separately.

     =COUNTIFS({Finish}, >TODAY())

     =COUNTIFS({PctComplete}, <1)

But why isn't it working when I nest them together? (it returns #Incorrect Argument Set?)

     =COUNTIFS({Finish}, >TODAY({PctComplete}, <1))

 

If you care to, I'd appreciate answers to a few additional questions:

  • I'm also confused with why the first forumla above requires the empty parens, but the 2nd formula is working without them.
  • Smartsheet documentation shows square brackets [], but the actual software is inserting squigly brackets {}. Is there a difference?

Thanks,

 

Jon
