Hi!
I have two columns. One if the Due Date and the other is the Completed Date. I would like to set-up an equation where it counts the number of times an item was completed late (after the due date). Is this possible? If yes, what is the equation?
Hmmm. I swear I know a better way of doing this, but I am having trouble getting anything to work. To do this quickly, you could create a helper column and use the following IF statement =IF([Completed Date]@row > [Due Date]@row, "late")
That will write the word late in the row... then you could do a simple... =Countifs([Helper Column]:[Helper Column], "late")
You could do this with the followting equation:
=IF([Completed Date]3 > [Due Date]3, 1, "")
This will put a 1 in the column if the Completed Date was after the Due Date. Then sum the column.
Here is an example sheet https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=d3c78d81b9424434a84055dfa1e2f28d
Comparing two (or more) columns for a count at the row level without a helper column is possible with an absurd amount of nested COLLECT functions which also happens to be rather inflexible and easily broken.
I have tested and dug through the forums here and tested some more, and the best thing by far I personally have found has been to use a helper column to compare the cells at the row level and then count the helper column.
If you can find a different way, I'm all ears. Adding extra stuff in after a sheet has been in use enough to have a few thousand rows is rather tiresome.
How can I set up instructions from an earlier coloumn, if someone has selected Bonus A this means that a payment is due 6 months after the start date so need to show this date in the column
Hi community - ran into an issue I've never experienced before. Across all my clients, we use formulas to project dates (we've used durations/predecessors in the past, but it's not our preferred method). If we look specifically at the "TEST - SD - Internal Scope Alignment Call" line, you can see the "Start Date" formula,…
Hello. I am trying to combine contact list A with the Created By column into one Contact Helper column to use in order to restrict the user view in Dynamic View. Here is my problem.
