Formula to count values that are not struck through

Sidonia Posteuca

I have a sheet with a conditional format set up to strike through the row when the finish date is reached.

I am creating a sheet summary where I would like to add up the days (in the duration column) for each project.

What is the formula I should be using? How do I set a conditional format as my criterion in a SUMIF formula?

Hi Sidonia,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to use conditional formatting as a reference in a formula, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could create a helper column with a formula with the same conditions as the Conditional Formatting and use that in the Sheet Summar formula.

Make sense?

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
