Assuming the columns of you table are named (or you could use structured references)

- AsimA335Aug 11, 2024Copper ContributorThanks Peter! I think this will count completed items however I'm looking to count not started and in progress items. But I can use a combo of your suggestions and Oliver's suggestions for a clean formula. There are other tables crossing into the same column, so I think a cell-specifc formula may be best rather than a column-specific formula. However, this is great to know for future spreadsheets!

Just to clarify the syntax, the status
"<>complete"
means the formula returns a count for items that are not complete. That is because of the "<>" not equal to.
