Hello, I am new to Smartsheet and formulas...I need assistance with a formula (creating a formula sheet for a dashboard).

My formula references another sheet and I want it to count the IN-PROGRESS and UPCOMING Training for an individual trainer. I've created a few formulas that work, but not sure how to create them to count for 2 different training statuses.


INFO:

Sheet Name: Class Tracker

Trainer Name: Aaron

Training Status: IN-PROGRESS, UPCOMING, COMPLETED

FORMULA to count "In-Progress" for Trainer: Aaron..

=COUNTIFS({Class Tracker Range 2}, "Aaron", {Class Tracker Range 1}, "IN-PROGRESS"

Any ideas on how to count both In-Progress and Upcoming?? So far I keep getting #UNPARSEABLE

Thanks!

    Hi@Jani Luna,

    Try:

    =COUNTIFS({Class Tracker Range 2}, "Aaron", {Class Tracker Range 1}, OR(@cell="IN-PROGRESS" ,@cell= "UPCOMING"))

    Work?

Hi @GWOOD02<\/a>,<\/p>

Try setting the criteria to 0.5 instead of 50 as you have the column set to % - right now the formula may be looking for greater than 5000% which obviously won't be found if you're using 0-100%.<\/p>

Let us know if this works or if another solution is required.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":219,"urlcode":"sheets","name":"Sheets"},{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"formulas","name":"Formulas"},{"tagID":265,"urlcode":"reports","name":"Reports"},{"tagID":335,"urlcode":"sheet-summary","name":"Sheet Summary"},{"tagID":472,"urlcode":"cell-linking","name":"Cell linking"}]},{"discussionID":111988,"type":"question","name":"IF AND Formula Question","excerpt":"I wanted get the below formula running... but get an an #UNPARSEABLE error. =IF AND(Number@row, {Wave B (EMEA) - L4 Mapping}, CONTAINS({Wave B (EMEA) - Country x2}, \"BE\"), \"True\", \"False\") Any help would be much appreciated.","snippet":"I wanted get the below formula running... but get an an #UNPARSEABLE error. =IF AND(Number@row, {Wave B (EMEA) - L4 Mapping}, CONTAINS({Wave B (EMEA) - Country x2}, \"BE\"), \"True\",…","categoryID":322,"dateInserted":"2023-10-20T21:18:29+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-10-21T08:53:03+00:00","insertUserID":164249,"insertUser":{"userID":164249,"name":"Ulrich Anderhub 1","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Ulrich%20Anderhub%201","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-10-21T12:48:10+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":164249,"lastUser":{"userID":164249,"name":"Ulrich Anderhub 1","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Ulrich%20Anderhub%201","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-10-21T12:48:10+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":38,"score":null,"hot":3395716292,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/111988\/if-and-formula-question","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/111988\/if-and-formula-question","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":111988,"commentID":401071,"name":"Re: IF AND Formula Question","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/401071#Comment_401071","dateInserted":"2023-10-21T08:53:03+00:00","insertUserID":164249,"insertUser":{"userID":164249,"name":"Ulrich Anderhub 1","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Ulrich%20Anderhub%201","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-10-21T12:48:10+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-10-21T08:53:11+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-10-20T21:36:57+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":401046,"body":"
