Why is my COUNTIFS formula counting more items than necessary?
Hi all!
I'm currently using the following formula (with references) to count the amount of items that fit a certain criteria (91-180 days, 181-270 days, and >270 days):
=COUNTIFS({Age Grouping}, "desired amount of days")
The formula works perfectly for the first two criteria, however, when it counts ">270 days", it returns the number of items for all three criteria. For example, there are 2 (91-180 days) items, 3 (181-270 days) items and 7 (>270 days) items; but the formula returns 12 items for 270 days. Does anyone know why this may be?
Thanks in advance,
Carolina Rivera

Hi Paul,
The formulas I'm using are these:
=COUNTIFS({Age Grouping}, "91-180 days")
=COUNTIFS({Age Grouping}, "181-270 days")
=COUNTIFS({Age Grouping}, ">270 days")

And exactly how is the data populated in the {Age Grouping} range/what does it look like on the source sheet?
