Count Formula for more than one condition

PMOGal

Hi. I need to complete this formula:

=COUNTIF([Team Member]:[Team Member], "Joe") and Status <> "Complete" or "Not in Scope".

What is the recommendation to determine how many outstanding tasks Joe has? Thank you.

Hi @PMOGal

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Team Members]:[Team Members], "Joe", Status:Status, OR(@cell <> "Complete", @cell <> "Not in Scope"))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

@PMOGal You'll want to use COUNTIFS for this, as this function allows you to specify multiple criteria.

=COUNTIFS([Team Member]:[Team Member], "Joe", Status:Status <> "Complete", Status:Status <> "Not in Scope")

In English: Count rows where Team Member = Joe, and where Status is not Complete nor Not in Scope.

Hi Andree/Jeff: I am getting an UNPARSABLE error with either formula. [Status], like [Team Member] is a column heading. Do I need the [ ] around Status? I tried that, too, and I still get unparsable.

Strange!

Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing)

Hi Andree / Jeff: I took another stab and Jeff's formula. It is working now! Thank you both for your help.

Sorry, I'm back. Apparently, Smartsheet is not counting tasks (in Jeff's formula above) if the Status ISBLANK. How do we incorporate this?
