Hi All
I am trying to do a COUNTIFS formula in the summary field. II can get it to work with COUNTIF, however COUNTIFS returns an error (Unparseable).
I am trying to get a count from two columns in the sheet to calculate in a summary field
- Column 1 - Status
- Column 2 - Unique
- I wrote =COUNTIFS(Status:Status, ="Open",(Unque:Unique, ="Unique")

I hope you're well and safe!
To add to Jeff's excellent advice/answer.
COUNTIFS works fine with Summary fields as well.
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)
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Try your formula with these modifications.
=COUNTIFS(Status:Status, "Open", Unque:Unique, "Unique")

Hi Jeff
Thanks for the information, unfortunately still errors.
I am unsure whether COUNTIFS works with summary fields.
Appreciate your efforts

Thank you all for your help.
Jeff M, your answer worked, the following day. Considering that I was copy and pasting, I have no answer why I couldn't get it to work at the time, unless the sheet froze?
In any case, I went back to it the following day, re-pasted what you had sent and voila, success.
Again, appreciate the amazing knowledge available in this community.
👍️
