I am using this simple formula in a new field in Sheet Summary & I keep getting an "Unparseable" Error.
=COUNTIF(RESPONSIBLE ENTITY:RESPONSIBLE ENTITY, "FIRM")
You need square brackets [ ] around each of your column names.
[RESPONSIBLE ENTITY]:[RESPONSIBLE ENTITY]
Hi Donni,
When you have columns with numbers or multiple words you have to use Square Brackets.
Try this.
=COUNTIF([RESPONSIBLE ENTITY]:[RESPONSIBLE ENTITY], "FIRM")
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

Thank you for explaining when the brackets are needed. I couldn't figure out when/why they were required. Much appreciated.
They are needed when you have a number, space, or special character in the column name. I am pretty sure that covers all of the reasons why you would need square brackets.
Happy to help!
I always forget about the special characters
I'm using the following formula but I keep on getting #UNPARSEABLE
=COUNTIFS({GP TRACKER INTAKE DATE} , IFERROR((@cell),0) > DATE(2019,6,30),({GP TRACKER STATUS}, IFERROR((@cell),0) = "FUTURE PROJECT"))
Try
=IFERROR(COUNTIFS({GP TRACKER INTAKE DATE} , > DATE(2019,6,30),{GP TRACKER STATUS},"FUTURE PROJECT"),0)
I'm assuming you want 0 if there is an error, based on your IFERROR((@cell),0)
@Javier Salar
To correct your original formula, it is just a matter of extra parenthesis being tucked in there.
=COUNTIFS({GP TRACKER INTAKE DATE}, IFERROR(@cell), 0) > DATE(2019, 6, 30) ,{GP TRACKER STATUS}, IFERROR(@cell), 0) = "FUTURE PROJECT")

We are running into issues with our faculty getting sidetracked in the middle of responding to an update request and if they try to use the email link again it gives them a message that says the link has already been used or canceled. Is there a way around this or an idea to help us with this?
