I have used the following which results in 'unparseable'. What's wrong with the formula please?

=COUNTIFS({P&P report - AH - 15 Jun 22 Range 1},[Primary Column]@row), COUNTIFS({P&P report - AH - 15 Jun 22 Range 5}, "1"))

You don't need a second COUNTIFS. Remove that and continue the range/criteria syntax with the second range/criteria set within the first COUNTIFS.
