Hi! Is there a way to count all tasks that are past due based off of date, but exclude tasks that are marked complete?
=COUNTIF(Finish:Finish, <TODAY())
Can I add an exemption in this so marked complete is not counted?
Please let me know!

Is Complete a checkmark field? Or a dropdown field? How, specifically, are tasks being marked as complete?
If its a checkmark,
=Countifs(Finish:Finish, < Today(), [Complete Column Title]:[Complete Column Title], 0)
If it's a dropdown try:
=Countifs(Finish:Finish, < Today(), [Complete Column Title]:[Complete Column Title], <>"Complete")
I am marking it complete with a checkbox. The goal here is to highlight any past due tasks by finish date that are not complete excluding tasks that have been marked complete. Then I would like to set a reminder within Smartsheet to automatically notify me via email or whatever that it is past due and to ensure we are staying on schedule.
So do you know how I can automatically do this and is the formula you mentioned previously the correct one?
Mike's formula of:
for the check boxes is the one you want.
You can then set up a notification to alert you whenever the date is in the past (or within x amount of days/weeks/etc. if you wanted to keep ahead of it) and add a condition within the same alert that the Complete Column is unchecked. Then it will only send you an alert (don't forget your Delivery Settings for timing and frequency) whenever BOTH of those criteria are met.
To highlight the rows in question you can use conditional formatting, setting the same criteria as the notification.

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to create this formula in my Sheet but it says incorrect argument:
What I want to do, is to count how many tasks are overdue, excluding Complete Status.
Thank you for your Help.
Hi @Natalia Nino
Your first reference is one cell, but the second reference is an entire column. Based on your description I believe you want to have the entire column as a reference for the first part as well!
Try:
=COUNTIFS([Scheduled Finish Date]:[Scheduled Finish Date], <TODAY(), Status:Status, <> "Complete")

Hi Genevieve
Thank you for your help.
It works perfectly.
I need to edit a large sheet that has a lot of predecessors. I need to delete one row and move another. when I make the changes the predecessors for proceeding lines are not correctly displaying the dates correctly. Need help.
Hi all, I'm having some issues with an index-collect formula. I have (3) existing sheets that list a unique project name (text field), as well as a producer assigned to work that project. The producer column in all (3) sheets is set as a contact field. In a separate sheet, I'm trying to auto-populate the producer…
I am currently in business trial version, but i was told it is supposed to allow for full functionality, however when I click Ctr+F my search menu is only a search bar that allows me to only find the string, and it doesn't allow for replacing. Is it me or the F&R functionality rather limited?
