Pull a value from a cell if date of the row matches today's date

Hello,

I am trying to do something that is likely very simple for someone, but I keep hitting an #UNPARTSEABLE error!

In Sheet Summary, I am trying to pull a value from a cell if the date of the row matches today's date; else key "Not Available".

Here is the formula I am using:

=IF([Date]:[Date]@row = TODAY(), [Overall Census]:[Overall Census]@row, "N/A")

Any help?

    Hi @Lindsey.Jones

    I hope you're well and safe!

    You can't use an @row reference in the sheet summary. You'd probably need to add a Direct row reference instead.

    Make sense?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

  • Thank you for your quick response.

    That does make sense. When doing a direct row reference, it fixes the #UNPARSEABLE error. Problem is.. I want that @row reference. I suppose I can just set up another sheet with a reference back to the original sheet to summarize today's census numbers.
