COUNTIFS PARENT cross reference

In my summary sheet, I need to cross reference the PARENT rows in my data sheet (status) to count the number of open non-conformities (with less than 100% complete). Basically, the counting in summary sheet needs to take into consideration two conditions in the status sheet:

  1. Be a PARENT row, and
  2. % complete <1

I have tried everything I can and I still cannot it to work

    Add a "helper" column to your status sheet called IsParent (of type Checkbox) and then put a column formula in it:

    =IF(COUNT(CHILDREN(Item@row)) > 0, true)

    In your summary sheet use the formlua =COUNTIFS({Status SheetIsParentColumn}, true, {Status Sheet% CompleteColumn}, <1)

    I hope this help.

If your options are numbers, you can leave out the quotation marks. <\/p>

If you are wanting to have more than 2 options, increase the COUNTM value and add the extra HAS(@cell, \"Option Name X\") within the AND function.<\/p>
