Need to return a Sum when multiple criteria are met in a referenced sheet

Kerri S

=COUNTIF({Sprint Name}, "Ocean's Sprint 5", AND({Ocean's 13 Sprints Issue Type}, "Story"))

I'm using the value above, but am getting an Incorrect Argument Set error.

Hi Kerri!

You should use COUNTIFS when evaluating more than one criteria. The AND operator is no longer necessary when you use this. You will also want to specify the group of cells to count (you can pick any column for this really)

=COUNTIFS([Sprint Name]:[Sprint Name], "Ocean's Sprint 5", [Ocean's 13 Sprints Issue Type]:[Ocean's 13 Sprints Issue Type], "Story"))

Huge help, I wound up with the below and it's working as expected. Appreciate the support!

=COUNTIFS({Sprint Name}, Sprint@row, {Ocean's 13 Sprints Issue Type}, "Story")
