Hi!
I have two columns. One if the Due Date and the other is the Completed Date. I would like to set-up an equation where it counts the number of times an item was completed late (after the due date). Is this possible? If yes, what is the equation?
Hmmm. I swear I know a better way of doing this, but I am having trouble getting anything to work. To do this quickly, you could create a helper column and use the following IF statement =IF([Completed Date]@row > [Due Date]@row, "late")
That will write the word late in the row... then you could do a simple... =Countifs([Helper Column]:[Helper Column], "late")
You could do this with the followting equation:
=IF([Completed Date]3 > [Due Date]3, 1, "")
This will put a 1 in the column if the Completed Date was after the Due Date. Then sum the column.
Here is an example sheet https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=d3c78d81b9424434a84055dfa1e2f28d
Comparing two (or more) columns for a count at the row level without a helper column is possible with an absurd amount of nested COLLECT functions which also happens to be rather inflexible and easily broken.
I have tested and dug through the forums here and tested some more, and the best thing by far I personally have found has been to use a helper column to compare the cells at the row level and then count the helper column.
If you can find a different way, I'm all ears. Adding extra stuff in after a sheet has been in use enough to have a few thousand rows is rather tiresome.
I'm trying to create a formula that will output a Product category. Below is the formula and I've provided a screenshot of the columns involved. =IF(AND(Folder1 ="default", [Cost Category]1="Printer : Plex", ISNUMBER(FIND("Color",[Cost Option]1))), "Color Impressions", If(AND(Folder1="default", [Cost Category]1="Printer :…

I have an automated workflow set up to run weekly and request an update when the project is in certain statuses. The automation only ran once and now it's not working even though I have it set up to run weekly. I need help troubleshooting why this isn't working.
