Hello Community,

Does anyone know of a formula that could allow me to count the dates in a column that are older than 4 days?

    Hi Mitch,

    Try something like this.

    =COUNTIF(Dates:Dates; <TODAY(-4))

    The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.

    =COUNTIF(Dates:Dates, <TODAY(-4))

    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 week!

  • Thank you very much Andree, 

    The formula works very well it would be impossible to work these things out without you guys.

    I do have another query for you. Do you know is it still no possible to use a formula such as  =IF([Kanban Opened]8 = "true", TODAY(), "") to modify a cell when a tick box is checked with today's date but for the date to stay there and not change each day it is saved.

    Thanks in advance

    Excellent!

    Happy to help!

    Unfortunately, the TODAY function will always update to the current date (Today's date) so if you want it to stay fixed you have to use a third-party solution like Zapier or similar or the Smartsheet API.

    Is that an option?

    Best,
