COUNTIFS FORMULA with Cross Reference and MONTH Date

Jenn Glass

I would be most appreciative for help on this formula. I am cross referencing data from another sheet and trying to count how many times TM & AM pop up in the month of February. I keep getting the UNPARSEABLE error.

=COUNTIFS({GCS Service Lines},("TM & AM", @cell)>0, MONTH,{Date Created}(@cell)=2)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, @Jenn Glass!

Try this: =COUNTIFS({GCS Service Lines}, "TM & AM", {Date Created}, MONTH(@cell) = 2)

Let me know how that goes!

Hi @Luis Montanha - it's still not working, but now we are getting somewhere... the answer calculates as 0... which is what happened in the previous column where I was just counting the number of TM & AM without adding on the month. When adding the ("TM & AM", @cell) > 0.... I was able to calculate the actual count.

I wish I was better at this stuff, but trying hard at learning. Any other suggestions?

Does it matter if the "Date Created" column is an auto-generated date from a form? Maybe that is what is preventing the MONTH formula?

Hey @Jenn Glass

The formula should work as written, even with the system generated Created field. Is your term "TM & AM" written exactly as it is in your data - including the capitalization? I'm sure @Luis Montanha will have more suggestions for troubleshooting
