SUMIFS - How to include multiple "Criterion" in a "Range"

Grace ONeill

I am sure there is a simple solve but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I am trying to use the COUNTIFS formula, with 2 ranges in included. The first range ("Status") is straight forward as I only want to select one criterion ("In Progress). In the second range ("Division"), I want to select multiple criterion (i.e. "Men's", Women's, "Accessories"), so that I can get a count of all "In Progress" counts for All divisions. Here is what I have tried which I thought would work:

=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, "In Progress", Division:Division, "Men's", "Women's", "Accessories")

or

=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, "In Progress", Division:Division, "Men's", Division:Division, "Women's", Division:Division, "Accessories")

Hoping someone can help steer me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hi @Grace ONeill 

Hope you are fine, please try the following formula:

=IFERROR(COUNTIFS(Status:Status, @cell = "In Progress", Division:Division,
OR(HAS(@cell,"Men's"), HAS(@cell, "Women's"), HAS(@cell, "Accessories"))), "")

the following screenshot shows the result:

Hi Bassam,

Thank you so much for your response. Using that formula, I am still not getting the right answer for other ranges/criteron.

This is what I used:

=IFERROR(COUNTIFS(Status:Status, @cell = "Gap In Progress", Division:Division, OR(HAS(@cell, "Apparel - Men's"), HAS(@cell, "Apparel - Women's"), HAS(@cell, "Apparell - All"))), "")

If you like share me as an admin on a copy of your sheet after removing any sensitive data and I will check why it's not working with you.

Hi @Grace ONeill

Can you identify what type of COUNT you're looking for, and how the Division column is set up? It looks like it's a multi-select column, is that correct? If so, do you want a cell that has both "Womens" and "Mens" to be counted once or twice?

Here's how I would set up this formula:

=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, @cell = "Gap In Progress", Division:Division, HAS(@cell, "Apparel - Men's")) + COUNTIFS(Status:Status, @cell = "Gap In Progress", Division:Division, HAS(@cell, "Apparel - Women's")) + COUNTIFS(Status:Status, @cell = "Gap In Progress", Division:Division, HAS(@cell, "Apparel - All"))

I would add together the three separate COUNTS. One for each Division. Would this work for you? If not, it would be helpful to see a screen capture of your sheet, but please block out sensitive data.

Cheers,
