COUNTIFS error when finite rows not set
I have a formula that calculates the week number, and counts all items with the priority of 'Standard' within that week.
The issue is that my 'Creation Date' column currently has 97 rows, but this will increase. The formula below works, but not if I remove the row numbers. I haven't seen this behavior before, did I set something up incorrectly? (First and last row are constant, the week number is between 1-52).
=IFERROR(COUNTIFS([Creation Date]$1:[Creation Date]$97, WEEKNUMBER(@cell) = [Week#]@row, Priority$1:Priority$97, "Standard"), "lorem")

I created a helper row for the dates, and reference those instead of the actual date columns, and it works.

Hi Fred,
Do you get an error message?
Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

Hi Andrée!
If the formula is only [Creation Date]:[Creation Date] and Priority:Priority, it gives me 'Invalid Data Type'. With the restrictions, it gives me the correct count. Date columns are date format, everything else is text/number.

I still have a question around this. I thought we could reference an entire column in a formula. This breaks if it's not restricted to rows containing data.
If I change my formula to
=COUNTIFS([Creation Date]:[Creation Date], WEEKNUMBER(@cell) = [Week#]@row, Priority:Priority, "Standard")
I get this
This is the bottom of the sheet
