How do I exclude values from a COUNTIFS expression?

PKane

Hello All,

I am hoping someone can help me figure out - how do I get my formula to exclude specific status items from its count?

I am pretty new to formulas -

I would like my formula to count the number of statuses by type - and exclude any that are 'Cancelled' or 'Complete'

Here is what I have so far - I tried various things but haven't had any luck.

=COUNTIFS({Remediations Category}, "Other-Fac-Bldg", {Remediations Core OPCO}, "NSP", {Remediations Year}, "2021", {Remediations Status}, <>"Complete", {Remediations Status} <> "Cancelled")

@PKane When you say it doesn't work, are you receiving an error or is the value incorrect?

Hello @Darren Mullen ,

It's returning an #invalidoperation error instead of a result.

Not sure if it's throwing that error because of the result?

Hi @PKane

I hope you're well and safe!

Try changing "2021" to just 2021 because Smartsheet will read it as text otherwise.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!

Best,

@Darren Mullen - I think I found it - I was missing a comma after the Remediation Status reference.
