  • Hi @BenRoller

    Can you post the formulas that you're using?

    It sounds like a COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT would work for you, you would just need to make sure that the Date you're referencing in the formula is housed in a Date type of Column, so that when you reference it the formula can find the right value in the other "Planned Start" column.

    Try something like this:

    =COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT({Business Application Column}, {Planned Start Column}, Date@row)))

    Let me know if this makes sense and works!

    Cheers,
