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")
Cheers,
Genevieve
Hi Genevieve
Thank you for your help.
It works perfectly.
Hello, I have a workflow where, when a team member checks a checkbox, Smartsheet automatically sends an email to themselves containing merge fields that are used as a customer email draft. The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
