Need help making a COUNTIFS NOT formula

Katie D

Hi there - I want to count how many times column A shows Katie and Column B does NOT show "Completed" looking at a range of rows - I have no idea how to make that happen

 

I can do the COUNTIFS over and over again for all the different things that column be could be that aren't "Completed" but it seems there should be an easier way.

 

=COUNTIFS(nvdoc$41:nvdoc$482, "Katie", NOT(QCtestStatus$41:QCtestStatus$482, "Completed"))

Katie,

 

it's simpler, you don't need "NOT": 

=COUNTIFS(A1:A10, "Katie", B1:B10, <>"Completed")
