How to incorporate an OR statement in a =COUNTIFS statement

Hi team - I have a formula that works for counting "errors" on from source data:

=COUNTIFS({Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Exempt}, 0, {(Source Data) BDO Exempt}, 0, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) main row}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) Created}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 10, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) C/H/M incorrec}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Low incorrec}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) authors}, NOT(CONTAINS("gsd invalid request", @cell)))

But I need to have the formula return a count when an OR is incorporated, so =COUNTIFS:

  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Exempt}, 0 and
  • {(Source Data) BDO Exempt}, 0 and
  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) main row}, 1 and
  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) Created}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 10 and
  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) C/H/M incorrec}, 1 OR
  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Low incorrec}, 1 and
  • {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) authors}, NOT(CONTAINS("gsd invalid request", @cell

Any ideas on how to do that seamlessly?

Thanks,

Jeff

    Hi Jeff—Can you try this one?


    =IF(COUNTIF({Agreements out for Approval (C H M) C/H/M incorrec}, 1)=0,(COUNTIFS({Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Exempt}, 0, {(Source Data) BDO Exempt}, 0, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) main row}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) Created}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 10, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Low incorrec}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) authors}, <>"gsd invalid request")),(COUNTIFS({Agreements out for Approval (C H M L) Exempt}, 0, {(Source Data) BDO Exempt}, 0, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) main row}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) Created}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 10, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) C/H/M incorrec}, 1, {Agreements out for Approval (C H M) authors}, <>"gsd invalid request")))


    Please let me know if that works.


    Thanks,

    Hi @Aya - that definitely gives me something to work with! It didn't error out, so that's good, but the total is not what I was expecting. That's probably something missing on my side.

    Appreciate the prompt response.
