Formula to count exclude a response within a column

I'm trying to create a formula to count the total number of cells within a column with "complete" and "incomplete" excluding the responses with "N/A". I attempted this formula but it did not return the correct value ("Unparseable"): =COUNTIFS([Action Plan Compliance]:[Action Plan Compliance], ="Complete", [Action Plan Compliance]:[Action Plan Compliance], ="Incomplete"). This is a screen shot of the column.

    Hi @jjluna

    The current formula you have is looking for if a cell has both of those options at the same time. Instead, you'll want to have two separate COUNTS and then add them together:

    =COUNTIFS() + COUNTIFS()

    For example:

    =COUNTIFS([Action Plan Compliance]:[Action Plan Compliance], "Complete") + COUNTIFS([Action Plan Compliance]:[Action Plan Compliance], "Incomplete")

    Cheers,

    Genevieve
