Adding two different criteria together which are found in the column

Barbara Witt

I am trying to add up how many times "INVENTORY" is used in my column and how many times "READY2SHIP" is used in the very same column. I tried sumifs, countifs, but none of these seems to work.

Could you please assist me? The same column has several status. Only one status applies per row. I want to see how many times I see the status "INVENTORY" and the status "READY2SHIP".

I know it's not hard, but I just don't seem to be able to write the correct formula and I don't know where my mistake is. Thank you very much.

@Andrée Starå Yes, I ended up developing this formula. It looks at the value at each cell and not globally at the row value.

=COUNTIFS({Range of all devices}, @cell <> "", {Status Column}, OR(@cell = "BAD/DEFECTIVE", @cell = "Internal Use", @cell = "SCRAPPED"))

Hi @Barbara Witt

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF(ColumnName:ColumnName; "INVENTORY") + COUNTIF(ColumnName:ColumnName; "READY2SHIP")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Unfortunately it comes back as unparseable:

=COUNTIF({DAX iOS STATUS}, "INVENTORY") + COUNTIF({DAX iOS STATUS}, "READY2SHIP"))

I tried the following and it comes back with the number 0, but if I count them separately, then I have 17 + 64 = 81

=COUNTIFS({DAX iOS STATUS}, "INVENTORY" + COUNTIF({DAX iOS STATUS}, "READY2SHIP"))

Another thought?

Did you get this working? (I think so, but I wanted to make sure)
