Using COUNTIFS when two different ranges

MarkSchlaudraff

I need a count of items with program = "VRN - Website" but do not count the ones with status = DONE OR NEW

=COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", NOT [{Status}, "Done" OR "New"])

What am I doing incorrect?

Jeff Reisman

Try this. You want to indicate that the second range, {Status}, cannot be "Done" AND cannot be "New".

=COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", {Status}, AND(@cell <> "Done", @cell <> "New"))

=COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", {Status}, AND(@cell <> "Done", @cell <> "New"))

Quick Update:

So I can get it to work this way: =COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", {Status}, "Done")

However, when I add NOT it breaks, plus I can't get it to use the AND either.

So, if I use =COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", {Status}, "<>Done") it does not count the records with Status = Done, however, I can't find a way for it to not to include "New" status.

@Jeff Reisman THANK YOU! That worked.

@MarkSchlaudraff

This WILL work, provided your {Programs} and {Status} ranges reference the whole columns in your remote sheet.

=COUNTIFS({Programs}, "VRN - Website", {Status}, AND(@cell <> "Done", @cell <> "New"))

Here it is working in my test sheet, albeit with column ranges from the same sheet:
