COUNTIFS with DISTINCT
Answers
-
Hello Everone,
I am new on the community, though I have been using Smartsheet for few years, (I am French, maybe my English will be different than yours sorry about that).
I came here to look for an answer to my problem. I am trying to use the Distinct function combine with countifs, but I can't get it to work
.Here is what I am trying to do.
I collect a report of my workers days from a form on a sheet with the names, date and all other type of info I need from the job site.
I am trying to extract from that sheet how many different days the man have work on a month, knowing that I can have 2 or 3 input for a same day (morning on one job and afternoon on another one)
=COUNTIFS({Repports JOBSITE 2021 Names}; =Name@row; {Repports JOBSITE 2021 Month}; =Month@row; {Repports JOBSITE 2021 Year}; =Year@row)
This formula give me the count of input by worker but it doesn't give the exact number of workday.
I can provide you with more info if you need to understand better my problem.
I would very much appreciate any input that can help me go forward with this.
I could use this type of function for many of my Smartsheet tables.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

I hope you're well and safe!
Welcome to the Community and the wonderful world of Smartsheet!
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

hello,
thank you for the reply, I can take some screenshot if you want but I am French my datas are mostly in French if you don't mind I can also share the files I think there are no sensitive datas (I will check first).
First screenshot the sheet the column highlighted are the ones were I get the datas for my other sheet
second screenshot the other sheet were I am trying to get a count of how many different days the worker work on a month, sometime they give 2 or more data (morning on one job and afternoon another one so I get 2 rows with the same day) see the formula in screenshot 2)
Thank you again for caring and helping, have a great week too.

Did you see the 2 screenshots?

Yes, I had a quick look, but it's always simpler looking at the sheets.
Let me know when you know if you can share or not.

@Andrée Starå and @Paul Newcome
Andrée, thank you
Paul Newcome has found the solution I was looking for.
I would suggest something along the lines of...
=COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT({Repports JOBSITE 2021 Date Column}; {Repports JOBSITE 2021 Names}; =Name@row; {Repports JOBSITE 2021 Month}; =Month@row; {Repports JOBSITE 2021 Year}; =Year@row)))
Have a good day
