Complex COUNTIFS and IF Function

Mashall Greene

Hello,

I need help putting together a function that can count certain cells in my grid. The inputs of the function are the following:

• If Beta is "Yes", it should be counted twice
• If Beta is "No", it should be counted once
• But if the Primary Region Column is not checked, the row should not be counted at all.

Beta is a column with only yes or no selectable answers, Primary Region is another column that is a checkbox.

I need the total sum of how this is added up after these inputs are accounted for, is this doable?

=COUNTIFS([Regional Beta Platform Created]:[Regional Beta Platform Created], "Yes", [Primary Region]:[Primary Region], 1) * 2 + COUNTIFS([Regional Beta Platform Created]:[Regional Beta Platform Created], "No", [Primary Region]:[Primary Region], 1)

What about the [Primary Region] column name?

Can you copy/paste the formula directly from the sheet? There are a lot of different reasons why you could be getting that area. Another option would be to provide a screenshot of the formula in the sheet similar to below:

Try something like this...

=COUNTIFS(Beta:Beta, "Yes", [Primary Region]:[Primary Region], 1) * 2 + COUNTIFS(Beta:Beta, "No", [Primary Region]:[Primary Region], 1)

Hey Paul,

Thank you, I understand the logic of this function and it seems like it should work, but I am getting an "#UNPARSEABLE" error, is there something we could be missing?

This function is living in a Sheet Summary field, is that an issue?

Depending on your region, you may also need to swap out the commas for semi-colons.

=COUNTIFS(Beta:Beta; "Yes"; [Primary Region]:[Primary Region]; 1) * 2 + COUNTIFS(Beta:Beta; "No"; [Primary Region]:[Primary Region]; 1)

Also double check to make sure the column names are correct.

No luck with commas or semi-colons, on my sheet Beta is actually called "Regional Beta Platform Created", but I've been updating your formulas accordingly.

I am also in the US, is there a way we can get on the phone?
