Count Cells with 'Today' date.

Jacqueline Comeau

I am trying to add a Sheet summary Formula to count to my ticketing queue SmartSheet so I can count the number of tickets received in a day versus the number completed and determine a productivity percentage. I've tried several Count and Countifs formulas (I'm not very good at formulas yet). Any suggestions on what to use? Any help is appreciated.

I should mention also that I auto-update the Date Submitted (cell for which I am count occurrences of TODAY) with automation. I'm not sure if that has an impact or not.

You should be able to use something along the lines of...

=COUNTIFS([Date Column]:[Date Column], @cell = TODAY())

Paul, when I enter that formula, it gives me the wrong answer. I have 5 matching entries with today's date, but smartsheet says I have 12. ???

I had the square brackets around [Picked]:[Picked] but smartsheet takes them out.

Hi @Ika619

I hope you're well and safe!

Ensure that there aren't more rows by deactivating the Filter and looking through the sheet.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Hi @Ika619

I agree with @Andrée Starå! It looks like you have a filter applied on the sheet. What are you filtering? Is it possible that your filter is narrowing down to just the rows that are Completed but your formula is counting all the rows that are "Today"?

Cheers,
