Why won't my Nested COUNTIFS work?

Hoping the community can assist!

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

Try this:

=COUNTIFS(Finish:Finish, >TODAY(), PctComplete:PctComplete, <1)

You were missing the comma after the Today(). It wasn't separating out your statements as separate conditions.

Hi Jon,

To add to previous answers.

Square brackets are used when there are numbers or more than one word in the column name.

The curly braces are used when you want to use cross-sheet formulas.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Need Help with If, Index, Collect
