Adding children with 2 conditions

Trying to count if issue type = defect and status is new or in progress

Keep getting an error

=COUNTIFS(CHILDREN([Issue Type]@row), "defect", CHILDREN(Status@row), "New", "In Progress")

Incorrect argument

Hi @NicoleB

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS(CHILDREN(Status@row), OR(@cell = "New", @cell = "In Progress"), CHILDREN([Issue Type]@row), "defect")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi - I am not getting an error any more but it also isn't giving me the correct answer - I updated the formula as well to this as the @cell function did not seem to activate any functionality

=COUNTIFS(CHILDREN(Status@row), OR(Status@row = "New", Status@row = "In Progress", Status@row = "to do"), CHILDREN([Issue Type]@row), "Requirements")

should return a value of 1 based on this formula if it is working properly
