Formula for COUNTIFS combined with OR (I think)

[AsimA335]

Hello,

Please can someone help me with a formula for the following:

Column E is labelled "Priority" with drop down options of "High", "Medium" or "Low" from a lookup table.

Column I is labelled "Status" with drop down options of "Complete", "In Progress" or "Not Started" from a look up table.

I want to count in cell I2, how many priorities in column E are "high" AND column I has the status "In Progress" OR "Not Started" [i.e. a status that is not "Complete"].

I have created a COUNTIFS formula but cannot seem to apply a second criteria that excludes from the count any with the status "Complete": =(COUNTIFS($E7:E13,"High"))

I can then adjust the same formula for "Medium" and "Low" priorities for cells I3 and I4 respectively.

@AsimA335 

=SUM(COUNTIFS($E$7:$E$13,"high",$I$7:$I$13,{"In progress","Not started"}))

=SUMPRODUCT(($E$7:$E$13="high")*(($I$7:$I$13="In progress")+($I$7:$I$13="Not started")))

Does any of these formulas return the intended result?

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

= COUNTIFS(Priority, "High", Status, "<>Complete")

Sorry, the forum was showing 0 responses. Still, good to know we are in agreement!

@OliverScheurichThank you so much!  That worked a treat!

Thanks 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.

Thanks again @OliverScheurich!
I tried to use your formula to create a new formula for a different value.
This time, I'm trying to count how many tasks are due this week based on a date in column H, and on a status in column I, that is either "In Progress" or "Not Started" .

Here is what I've come up with but it is not working. Perhaps I need to simplify it to use "<>complete" as status as per Peter's suggestion below. My columns have names but there is content above the table that possibly prevents Excel identifying the names:

=SUM(COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"<"&TODAY(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+1(), $J$9:$J83, {"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+2(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+3(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+4() ,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+5(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"})) + (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,TODAY+6(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"}))

[#9]

@AsimA335 

= SUMPRODUCT( (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY(),$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+1, $J$9:$J83, {"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+2,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+3,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+4,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+5,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"}))
+ (COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"="&TODAY()+6,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"})) )

Or:

=SUMPRODUCT((COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,">="&TODAY(),$H$9:$H83,"<="&TODAY()+6,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started";"In Progress"})))

Does any of this formulas return the intended result?

It looks like the first line counts old, unfinished cases and the following lines count current cases.
I think you just have to count cases with dates less than or equal to Today()+6
=COUNTIFS($H$9:$H83,"<="&TODAY()+6,$J$9:$J83,{"Not Started","In Progress"}))

Thank you very much @Richard_Wendt. Unfortunately, the formula produced a "spill" error. However, the formula provided by Oliver has worked, so all is good. I appreciate you helping!

[#12]

Thank you very much @OliverScheurich. The formula (2nd one) worked, I didn't try the first. It doesn't capture entries with dates <TODAY, however, that has worked out better as I have overdue captured separately. Really appreciate your help again!
