#incorrect argument set for a countif statement with multiple references

Ian Coletti

I'm trying to count check boxes if the % complete is <100. I can COUNTIF the check boxes on their own, but when I add the % complete reference, I get the incorrect argument set error. Any ideas?

Here's the formula: =COUNTIF({Portfolio_Rollup}, 1, {Completion_Percentage}, <100)

I think your bracket is incorrect use [ ] instead of { }

That was auto-populated using smartsheet's reference to another sheet feature. I think that [ ] is just for links within the same sheet? I'll give it a shot, though.

Hi @Ian Coletti,

The brackets are correct if you're referencing another sheet.

At a glance it seems like the percent number is incorrect. Try changing it to <1

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@Andrée Starå I changed to "1" and am getting the same error. The % Complete column I'm pulling from in the other sheet is a Text/Number field (came with the PM template) and the formatting is set to %.

Apologies, I missed that it was a COUNTIF function. You need to change it to an COUNTIFS function instead.

Did that work?
