COUNTIFS on 2 check box columns, 1 checked, 1 unchecked

I am trying to write a formula for a sheet summary where an "Over Due" check box is checked (driven by a due date column), and a "Done" check box is not checked...

=COUNTIFS([Over Due]:[Over Due], 1, Done:Done, 0)

#Invalid Operation...

I originally tried to run a countifs based on Done = 0, and Due Date < TODAY, but learned you can't run a countifs using a date field, apparently.

what am I doing wrong?

Hi Jon,

You can run COUNTIFS with dates. Your other formula looks correct. Make sure the column types are correct.

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS(Done:Done; 0; [Due Date]:[Due Date]; @cell < TODAY())

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

=COUNTIFS(Done:Done, 0, [Due Date]:[Due Date], @cell < TODAY())

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did it work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

I agree with Andree on both counts. Your posted formula looks right, and you can use dates in a COUNTIFS (his example would have been my example).

If you still are not able to get it to work, feel free to post some screenshots of the formulas themselves actually being used in the sheet. Sensitive/confidential data can be hidden, removed, or replaced with "dummy data".

Thank you both! You're right, the first formula you provided worked.

Many thanks for the prompt solution!

Happy to help!

Looks like you are in a region that requires semi-colons as a separator instead of commas between sections. That is definitely something to keep in mind for future formulas.

Is there a way to create a 3-digit padding for numbers
Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…

Check box for date in previous month
