#INVALID DATA TYPE when using COUNTIF Formula

edwardnsantos

Hey Community - 

I am having an issue trying to use the COUNTIF formula. In this use case, I basically have a formula in the first column to show if start and end dates match with other columns in the sheet.

All I want to do is count the number of "Yes" cells, but when I try to use the COUNTIF formula, I get an #INVALID DATA TYPE. Any ideas on how to fix? The column type is "text," so I wonder why it is not pulling correctly.

Hi Edward,

Strange!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots of the whole range 1-29? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, [email protected])

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,
