RAID Metrics

Tonya Baut

I'm trying to figure out how to build a formula using the COUNTIFS function that will count the number of ACTION items in our raid log but only if those items don't have one of our multiple closed status's. ONLY Active items if you will.

Current Formula: =COUNTIFS({RAID Type}, "Action") - this returns the correct count of action items but it includes Action items that are also closed. We have multiple closed status's and I don't want those included in the count.

Example Raid Types - Action, Risk, Issue, Decision, Question

Example Closed Status - Closed - Decision, Closed - Resolved

Sorry, the formula should be as shown below. I accidently used = sign instead of <>

=COUNTIFS({RAID Type}, "Action", {Status}, OR(@cell<>"Closed 1", @cell<>"Closed 2", @cell<>"Closed 3"))

No problem. Glad to help.

Use the OR() function within the COUNTIFS

=COUNTIFS({RAID Type}, "Action", {Status}, OR(@cell="Closed 1", @cell="Closed 2", @cell="Closed 3"))

You could also look at using =COUNT(COLLECT())

Let me try that, thank you very much!

I'm getting an invalid reference error: =COUNTIFS({RAID Type}, "Action", {*Status}, OR(@cell = "Closed - Resolved", @cell = "Closed - Canceled", @cell = "Closed - Workday Case", @cell = "Closed - Decision", @cell = "Closed - Workday Brainstorm"))

Tonya Baut

Fixed it, the range reference was incorrect. Again, thank you.

Jason Duryea

Your {Status} reference has an asterisk in the reference name within the formula. Is that correct?

Tonya Baut

Well almost. The count is coming back as "1". there are actually 3 that are not closed.

Jason Duryea

Did you see my comment about changing the equal sign to <> ?

Tonya Baut

I think I figured it out. Tks
