Hi, can someone please help me - I am trying to count the total of Red, Yellow and Green Balls in a column and cant get my formula to work. Currently my formula reads
=COUNTIFS([Status2]4:[Status2]33, "GREEN", "YELLOW", "RED")
thank you
Very close! try something like this...
=COUNTIFS([Status2]4:[Status2]33, OR(@cell = "Red", @cell = "Yellow", @cell = "Green"))
Hi Chris,
Try this.
=COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33; "GREEN") + COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33; "YELLOW") + COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33; "RED")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33, "GREEN") + COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33, "YELLOW") + COUNTIF([Status2]4:[Status2]33, "RED")
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

I want to do the same thing but I couldn't get the formulas to work. I'm in the States. Can you send me a formula suggestion for this:
@Susie Wachowski
My formula above should work for you. What exactly are you trying to accomplish and what results are you getting?
I'm trying to count the number of green, yellow, and red balls in the Status column. I'm getting a #UNPARSEABLE error message. This is the formula I modified to count rows 3-142 in the Status column: =COUNTIFS([Status1]3:[Status1]142, OR(@cell = "Red", @cell = "Yellow", @cell = "Green"))
What is your actual column name?
Status
Try using your actual column name instead of [Status1]. That should clear it up for you.
Ahh yes, that was the secret, thank you!!
Happy to help! 👍️
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with my current Smartsheet experience. I have paid for a Pro subscription, I am the owner and administrator of my account and sheets, and I have confirmed I am logged into the correct account. Despite this, Smartsheet is not recognizing my Pro subscription, and I am unable to…
