Count if on two columns

Leann Gibson

I have a sheet that pulls from another, I need to do a count if for two different columns. I use this formula for one, how do I add another?

=COUNTIF({Date 2}, [Start Date]@row)

I need something like: =COUNTIF({Date 2}, [Start Date]@row), =COUNTIF({Review Board}, [ReviewBoard]@row=XX)

It is an agenda sheet that has a set number of minutes, then I subtract minutes based on the number of topics added for that date. Now I need to also do a type of lookup for the Review Board. There are three Review Boards and in many cases the dates are now the same.

Hey Leann

The syntax is correct. When you entered it into your destination sheet - did you get what you expected?

oops you forgot an @row

 =COUNTIFS({Date 2}, [Start Date]@row, {Review Board}, [Oncology TAG]@row)

Hey @Leann Gibson

The COUNTIF (singular) function works when a single criteria is involved.

The COUNTIFS (plural) function works for any number of criteria - from one to whatever. My personal preference is to only use the plural version because of its versatility.

The syntax is

=COUNTIFS(range1, criteria1, range2, criteria2, etc)

Does this get you what you need?

I current formula is: =COUNTIF({Date 2}, [Start Date]@row)

I want to add if the {Review Board} is + to Oncology TAG

Would it be: =COUNTIFS({Date 2}, [Start Date], {Review Board}, [Oncology TAG]@row)

Cannot get it to work, must be something on my side. Thanks for the ideas.

Figured it out, the second criteria needed to be the name of the column.
