Hi,
I have a sheet with two date columns. I want to count the rows where only one of the date columns have a value. I´ve tried to create a third column with a formula that sets it to 0 or 1 depending on whether the second date column ISBLANK. It works but a cant count the zero's or one's since it seems smartsheet cant count the result of a formula in a cell. Any ideas on how to do this better?
Thanks!
Mikael
If your count formula is in a Checkbox type column, convert it to text like this
=YOUR_FORMULA + ""
for example
=COUNT([Date]:[Date]) + ""
If you need to use that number in a calculation somewhere else, use VALUE() in the formula referencing it.

Also, this formula should work:
=COUNTIFS(DateA:DateA, NOT(ISBLANK(@cell)), DateB:DateB, ISBLANK(@cell)) + COUNTIFS(DateB:DateB, NOT(ISBLANK(@cell)), DateA:DateA, ISBLANK(@cell))
There might be a shorter way, but my coffee has not kicked in yet.
This is what is known as an "exclusive OR". Smartsheet does not have that function yet.
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?

The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
