How do i create a formula to source information from another sheet with multiple countifs?

Webby

I am trying to setup an automated metrics sheet from many other sheets and I am stuck on the very first "reference another sheet" formula due to the conditions (countifs) that I'm trying to get it to pick up. Here's the example:

The metric sheet is trying to count KPI's from other sheets, for this particular instance a hazard count. I have another sheet where information is gathered called "Hazard Report Register" 2 of the columns in the sheet will effect the countifs they are; "Date" and "Person Raising Hazard"

What I ultimately want it to do is; in a cell tell me how many times a particular individual has raised a hazard in that month, but I believe the "Date" part is messing with my formula.

(Note the "Hazard Report Register" has hazards entered from other years then the current e.g. January 2022 that I don't want it to count).

The below is a screenshot of a section of the metrics sheet,

John Smiths Jan 2023 tally should be at 2.

Any help on the required Formula would be appreciated, I will then have to duplicate it for all my other sheets and KPIs.

Hey@Webby

Try this. You will have to change the Month value for each column. Almost always when I use a date range I add either an IFERROR or an ISDATE() to try to mitigate errors thrown by non-date cells when Date functions are used. You will need to change the Month number for each column. This is for the January column.

=COUNTIFS({Hazard Report Register Date column}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell),0)=1, {Hazard Report Register Date column}, IFERROR(YEAR(@cell), 0)=2023, {Hazard Report Register Person Raising Hazard column}, Name@row)

You must insert the cross sheet references in your sheet - you cannot simply copy paste this formula into your sheet. If you are unfamiliar with cross sheet references see the link at bottom.

Will this work for you

Thank you very much Kelly.

Just like you advised, this is how it ended up

=COUNTIFS({Hazard Date}, IFERROR(MONTH(@cell), 0) = 1, {Hazard Date}, IFERROR(YEAR(@cell), 0) = 2023, {Hazards by person}, [01. Name]@row)
