Hi
I am trying to count the number of items that are for a particular month and year.
eg: I would like to count the number of items submitted for the month of Jan 2018
the column I am wanting to pull the data from is a date column
Hi Kim,
As per the screencap:
Month - dropdown with January, February etc.
Year - dropdown with 2017, 2018 etc. (as per your requirements)
Count - formula: =COUNTIF([Submitted Merged]:[Submitted Merged], [Search Date]1)
Submitted Date: Just a regular date field
Search Date - formula: =IF(Month1 = "January", 1 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "February", 2 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "March", 3 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "April", 4 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "May", 5 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "June", 6 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "July", 7 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "August", 8 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "September", 9 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "October", 10 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "November", 11 + " " + Year1, IF(Month1 = "December", 12 + " " + Year1, ""))))))))))))
Submitted Merged - formula: =IF(LEN([Submitted Date]1) > 0, MONTH([Submitted Date]1) + " " + YEAR([Submitted Date]1), "")
You can then hide the Search Date and Submitted Merged columns when you're satisfied it works OK.
I used Month & Year dropdowns to provide a nicer user experience, but you can simplify the whole thing by just asking the user to pick a date.
Hope this helps.
Hi Chris
Thank you for your help but unfortunately I cannot get the formulas to work. I keep getting an error.
I am sure I am missing a detail but can't seem to identify it.
Count formula shows a blocked error
Search Date formula shows a unparseable error
Submitted Marge formula accepts the formula but shows no results
I have created columns as per your suggestion and added the formulas to the first row of each column

I have a parent row that I'm using to sum all child row values where Children = 0 and Status = "Not Started". This is my formula. =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Status@row ), Hierarchy@row = 0), "", IF(Hierarchy@row = 1, SUM(CHILDREN()), IF(AND(Children@row = 0, Status@row = "Not Started"), 1, 0))) However, if any of my task rows are…
Hi, I am trying to get a column that provides the Date (easy with Record a Date) but I need the TIME as well. Most of my tables I just use the right function on the Modified Date because the only thing updating those tables are automations or data imports. But a few tables have automations, data imports, and manual inputs.…
I’m hoping to get a second set of eyes from the community in case I’m missing something obvious or there’s a cleaner pattern I should be using. I’ve used ChatGPT to try and help me group/organize my situation coherently…. Because at this point I feel crazy… I’ve literally worked on this for hours. Environment •Smartsheet…
