Counting # of Employees working this week

Mallory McFall

Hello,

I am wanting to count the number of employees that are working this week. However my current formula does not take into account the number of unique names within a weeknumber. Any help would be apreciated.

Hi @Mallory McFall

Try something like this.

=COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT(Name:Name; [Week Number]:[Week Number]; WEEKNUMBER(TODAY()))))

The same version but with the below changes for convenience.

=COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT(Name:Name, [Week Number]:[Week Number], WEEKNUMBER(TODAY()))))

Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Happy to help!

Strange!

Can you maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

current formula for # employees working this week : =COUNTIF([Week Number]:[Week Number], =WEEKNUMBER(TODAY()))

The picture attached is my sheet.

Thank you

Hey Andree,

I added a new record to test this code but it is still counting 2. Do you have another approach to this code?

Many thanks,

Mallory
