Count Empty Checkboxes on another sheet

I'm pulling data from several sheets into one. For this particular column, I want to count the checkboxes not checked only if there is a date on the sheet. The formula I have tried is: =COUNTIFS({Tasks}, false, {Date 2}, "<>"), where Tasks is the area where all checkboxes are and Date 2 is the column with the Date in it. I'm getting Incorrect Argument. How can I correct this?

Sorry, my mistake

=COUNTIFS({Tasks}, 0, {Date 2}, (ISDATE(@cell)))

You need to use @cell in the function to reference in the cell in the lookup sheet

try

=COUNTIFS({Tasks}, 0, isdate({Date 2}))

Hi @Frank Falco that gave me an Unparsable error. How does this reference the date in the row of the Lookup sheet I am starting from (also called Date)?

@Frank Falco , nope. Incorrect argument. Don't we have to reference the Date column in the current sheet to compare?

@Frank Falco do you have any other ideas?

Are you still having issues?

The Code works if you reference {Task} and {Date 2} in another sheet, as a column range reference.

You asked in your original question to count when the Task is checked and the Date exists. That is what the code is does. It counts when you find a checked Task with a date in the range. You are not referencing a specific date in the source sheet, you are referencing a range in another sheet.

If you need any more help, I would need to see images of the two sheets and how you are referencing the range.
