How to count incomplete tasks using % Complete?

Thomas Yonker · 03/26/20

Hi, I've got a project I've imported from MSProject, and my smartsheet has a % complete column. I'm trying to use COUNTIF to identify the number of tasks that are unstarted, those that are complete, and those that are in progress using that % Complete. I can get the first two to work, but I'm having trouble with the in-progress ones. I'm using the following formula:

=COUNTIF([% Complete]:[% Complete], AND([% Complete] <> 0 , [% Complete] <> 1))

and it's coming back as "unparseable".

Can somebody help me? I appreciate it!

Hi Thomas

I have re-produced your issue here and hopefully provided you with an answer

The function I used for the How many in progress row was:

=COUNTIFS([% Complete]:[% Complete], >0, [% Complete]:[% Complete], <1)

Hope this helps :)

Kind regards

Try using @cell references...

=COUNTIF([% Complete]:[% Complete], AND(@cell <> 0 , @cell <> 1))
