Countifs help

Good day all. This is most likely a very easy question for someone as I'm having a brain cramp on this. I can't seem to figure out what is missing from the following simple formula:
=COUNTIFS([Start Date]:[Start Date], <TODAY(), Status:Status, "Not Started")
The formula is for task roll-up sheet for items that are late as of today where the status is still Not Started.

Hi Stanley,
=COUNTIFS([Start Date]:[Start Date], <TODAY(), Status:Status,<> "Not Started")
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Good Day Andree, this did not work. Something is missing at this location as indicated from the system:
(), Status:Status
-
Ok.
Do you get an error message?

No. I got a number that is incorrect as the <> is not correct at that location

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.Β (share too,Β andree@getdone.se)

I'm doing a task roll-up sheet for my gantt and the formula is to do a count on if "Status" is set to "Not Started" as of the "Start Date" count it
-
Ok.
Try something like this.
=COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([Start Date]@row); <TODAY(); CHILDREN(Status@row); "Not Started")
The same version but with the below changes for convenience.
=COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([Start Date]@row), <TODAY(), CHILDREN(Status@row), "Not Started")
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Both #UNPARSEABLE

That is strange!
Can you share a screenshot? That would help to spot why it's not working.

It's because you can't use CHILDREN in the Sheet Summary.
Try this.
=COUNTIFS([Start Date]:[Start Date]; <TODAY(); Status:Status; "Not Started")
Did that work?

Thanks Andree. However this formula does not work either. Stated unparseable.
