countif with > or < signs

Nabil Hayek

Hi,

I would like to count the number of ">3 hours saved" using the countif function. However, it is not working.

I am writing the formula as follows: =countif(range, ">3 hours saved")

the same issue with "<1 hour saved". Apparently adding the < or > signs is affecting the formula.

Any suggestions please? I should mention I tried adding { } or [ ] around "[>3 hours saved]" still did not work.

Thank you in advance

Hi @Nabil Hayek,

You could use the CONTAINS function to achieve this. The formula would look like this

=COUNTIF(range, (CONTAINS("3 hours", @cell)))

More information on the CONTAINS function: https://help.smartsheet.com/function/contains

I hope this helps.

Thank you Summer for the tip

I just replaced the signs with words for now.

Have a good day
