COUNTIF Formula

Need assistance with the following formula:

Column labeled "CA Tier" has four categories, on the Excel spreadsheet that I'm mirroring, the formula is for CA is =COUNTIF($F:$F,S7), what is the formula that I would use on the Smartsheet?

    It really depends on what is stored in column F and what is stored in cell S7 in the excel worksheet ! The screen shots don't really give that data.

    The logic in your Excel formula is saying "Set the value of this cell to the number of entries from Column F that match the value in the cell S7."

    Smartsheet has the same =COUNTIF(Column F from Smartsheet, whatever was in S7) formula with the same arguments, you just need to refer to the Smartsheet column that is the same as your Excel column F and point to the cell that contains the same value in your Smartsheet that was held in S7 (column S row 7) in your Excel sheet.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

    Hi Erick

    Great to see that the formula Nic has provided works :)

    I have seen in your screen shot that your CA Tier column in Smartsheet is a MultiSelect data type, please be aware that if anyone enters more than 1 value from your dropdown list then those formulas will only count the First instance entered and any subsequent ones will not be counted.

    If you only want 1 value per cell in the CA Tier column, then I would recommend changing the data type to a Single Select drop down list, then the potential for errors (entering more than 1 value with the wrong one first, thus messing up your stats) will not occur.

    Kind regards

    Debbie

In that case you would use the same syntax but you would reference the column in the sheet using the appropriate column name. <\/p>

This took me a few hours to finally figure out and clearly, I have much to learn related to SmartSheet function rules. This is the final formula that worked. Sharing in case others may have a similar need. <\/p>

Once tested, this can be converted to column formula.<\/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":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=322&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
