Count column that is blank and another column that is not blank
I am trying to do a formula to count how many files are not yet audited:
where my "closed/referred date" column is not blank, but the "audited" column is blank.
Ive looked at other examples, but keep getting unpareseable errors any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi @lesmickin
It looks like your "Audited" column is a Checkbox type of column, is that correct? If so, instead of looking for "" (which looks for blank) you'll actually want to look for an un-checked box, or 0.
Try this:
=COUNTIFS([Closed/Referred Date]:[Closed/Referred Date], <>"", Audited:Audited, 0)
Cheers,
Genevieve

Hi @lesmickin
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=COUNTIFS([Closed/referred date]:[Closed/referred date], <>"", Audited:Audited, "")
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Good morning Andree,
It actually gives me a result of 0. I placed the formula in both the smartsheet (as a separate column) and in the sheet summary section. all with the same results :(
-
Strange!
I'd be happy to take a quick look.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

Thank you for looking into this for me. I am unable to send to outside entitites due to our security levels, so i've attached it here, but, what I am trying to accomplish is you will see I have rows that are marked as closed/referred (date entered in the closed/referred date field) and some have been audited while others have not. I am trying to get the number of those that have not been audited but are closed.
