Sheet Summary Error: #UNPARSEABLE

Betty Lin

Hi,

New to Smartsheet, I got #UNPARSEABLE error trying to summarize "LSD & IRD Difference" column.

I wonder if the & cause this error? I have tried {}, [] and nothing wrapped around the column name.

Try swapping the semi-colon for a comma.

Try this...

=COUNTIFS([LSD & IRD Difference]:[LSD & IRD Difference]; @cell > 6)

Try swapping the semi-colon for a comma.

Hi Paul,

Perfect, it worked! Thanks so much!

Happy to help. 👍️

The comma vs semi-colon bit is a regional thing because some areas use commas instead of periods (1.5 vs 1,5). In those regions that use the commas in place of periods for things such as decimal points you would need to use the semi-colon so as to not confuse SS with too many commas.

So sometimes the semi-colon is correct which is why it wasn't in my first post. But now we know you are in a comma region. Haha.
