COUNTIFS not Counting

Johnsie McGuire

i am having trouble getting a COUNTIFS formula to work. what i want it to do is count Sleeve ID based off of Sleeve Length. For example I want it to tell me there are 20 6"ø Sleeves that are 8" Length. For some reason it is not counting I have attached a screenshot with the formula in it. for ease, here is the formula again - 

=IFERROR(COUNTIFS([Sleeve ID]:[Sleeve ID], [Sleeve Size]5, [Sleeve Length]:[Sleeve Length], [Sleeve Size]13), 0)

I added the IFERROR to give me a 0 if nothing comes up. I tried to remove that and it didn't work.

Are you getting a zero when you remove the IFERROR, or are you getting an error?

Johnsie McGuire

I get a #NO MATCH

Paul Newcome

Is that error anywhere within either of your two referenced columns?

Johnsie McGuire

There was, I got rid of them and it seems to be working now...

So what I am gathering is the formula will kick back what errors are in the columns while ignoring the data that is being asked for. Now the formula works like a charm.

 

Thank you sir.

Paul Newcome

Basically yes. If the formula encounters any error within the data being evaluated, it will either return the error it is encountering or it will return #BLOCKED. It just depends on the specific error present in the data to be evaluated.

 

Glad you were able to get it working. Happy to help!
