How to Track Someone's Past due Task
Hi, I have tried to write down a formula at the sheet summary that tracks the number of past due tasks assigned to a specific person on my sheet but it is giving a #UNPARSEABLE error below is how I have done it :
=COUNTIFS([Is Past Due?]:[Is Past Due?], "Yes", Status:Status, "In Progress", [Assigned To]:[Assigned To], FIND("Name of Assigned", @cell) > 0)
Below is a screenshot with the structure of my sheet

Try this. (Replace "Name")
=COUNTIFS([Past Due]:[Past Due], "Yes", Status:Status, "In Progress", [Assigned To]:[Assigned To], "Name")

Try adding the brackets for Status -
[Status]:[Status]

Hi @Bernard MW
Try something like this.
=COUNTIFS([Is Past Due?]:[Is Past Due?], "Yes", Status:Status, "In Progress", [Assigned To]:[Assigned To], "Name of Assigned")
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå tried it but still #UNPARSEABLE

I can't see all the column names.
Can you double-check that the column names are correct?

Strange!
It works for me.
