Count If Assigned to... and status not Complete (two columns criteria)

Pete Hayward - FS - OCIT

Hi All,

I have a column called 'Assigned To' - this contains smart sheet contacts from a drop-down. (can be multiple people) per task.

The second column is called 'Status' - It has a limited range of selections. Open, Complete etc (can only be one selection)

I am trying to create a formula that will solve this text description....

Count the total number of NOT "Complete" tasks for "Assigned Name", on the SAME action item row.

Any thoughts? I've reviewed the smart sheet sample formulas but cant seem to combine them to get what i need.

Thanks

Pete

Happy to help!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND("Pete", @cell) > 0, Status:Status, <>"4 Complete")

Did it work?

Hi @Pete Hayward - FS - OCIT

Hope you are fine, i created a sample sheet for your case, please check the following formula and you can convert the columns name in your case using my formula as a reference:

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND([Contact to count for]@row, @cell) > 0, Status:Status, <>"Complete")

the following screenshot shows the result:

Hi Bassam,

Thanks for taking the time to help me. I have tried your formula but i'm getting the unparseable message. Here is my version...

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND([Pete]@row, @cell) > 0, Status:Status, <>"4 COMPLETE")

Note, the Complete is actually called "4 COMPLETE".

I also tried another version: (but the same error message)

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND("Pete" @row, @cell) > 0, Status:Status, <>"4 COMPLETE")

Any thoughts?

Thanks again, I feel like its close to a solution!

Hi @Pete Hayward - FS - OCIT

Ithink you have problem with column type, Could you please share me as an admin to a copy of your sheet after you remove any sensitive data and I will solve your problem.

I hope you're well and safe!

To add to Bassam's excellent advice/answer.

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND(Pete@row, @cell) > 0, Status:Status, <>"4 COMPLETE")

Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

=COUNTIFS([Assigned To]:[Assigned To]; FIND(Pete@row; @cell) > 0; Status:Status; <>"4 COMPLETE")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi Bassam & Andrée,

Sadly I cant share the sheet but that was a good idea! Here is an example of my issue.

So, I want the formula to tell me the total number of items that I have open, but i dont want it to include completed actions... So in this instance it should show 1 for Pete, 0 for Harry etc..

Thanks again for your efforts!
