Hi!
I have two columns. One if the Due Date and the other is the Completed Date. I would like to set-up an equation where it counts the number of times an item was completed late (after the due date). Is this possible? If yes, what is the equation?
Hmmm. I swear I know a better way of doing this, but I am having trouble getting anything to work. To do this quickly, you could create a helper column and use the following IF statement =IF([Completed Date]@row > [Due Date]@row, "late")
That will write the word late in the row... then you could do a simple... =Countifs([Helper Column]:[Helper Column], "late")
You could do this with the followting equation:
=IF([Completed Date]3 > [Due Date]3, 1, "")
This will put a 1 in the column if the Completed Date was after the Due Date. Then sum the column.
Here is an example sheet https://app.smartsheet.com/b/publish?EQBCT=d3c78d81b9424434a84055dfa1e2f28d
Comparing two (or more) columns for a count at the row level without a helper column is possible with an absurd amount of nested COLLECT functions which also happens to be rather inflexible and easily broken.
I have tested and dug through the forums here and tested some more, and the best thing by far I personally have found has been to use a helper column to compare the cells at the row level and then count the helper column.
If you can find a different way, I'm all ears. Adding extra stuff in after a sheet has been in use enough to have a few thousand rows is rather tiresome.
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
