Good morning,

{HR EX Employee Register Range 2} needs to be an external range with your years as numbers, e.g. 2019

{HR Ex Employee Register Range 3} needs to be an external range single drop down or text/number column with a value, e.g. Resignation

Then try:

=COUNTIFS({HR EX Employee Register Range 2}, 2019, {HR Ex Employee Register Range 3}, "Resignation")

If your external ranges are other than what I assumed you'll need to make other adjustments to your formula or columns.

Help?

Mark

Have tired the formula but i get a "incorrect argument" error

not sure what i am doing wrong

My range 2 is set as years with the column set as text

My Range 3 is also set with a drop down box
