#INVALID DATA TYPE formula Return

The first formula below is returning a #INVALID DATA TYPE when I enter it. But in the second formula the equation works and I am not sure why the first one is not. What am I doing wrong with the Fiscal year part?

does not work:

=SUMIFS([Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable]:[Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable], [Batch Billing Account]:[Batch Billing Account], =CHRTR19, [Manager Approval]:[Manager Approval], =1, [Internal Processing Status]:[Internal Processing Status], ="Service Complete", [Pick-up Date]:[Pick-up Date], MONTH(@cell)= 10,[Fiscal Year]:[Fiscal Year],=Month19)

Successfully provides a sum:

=SUMIFS([Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable]:[Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable], [Batch Billing Account]:[Batch Billing Account], =CHRTR19, [Manager Approval]:[Manager Approval], =1, [Internal Processing Status]:[Internal Processing Status], ="Service Complete", [Pick-up Date]:[Pick-up Date], MONTH(@cell)= 10)

    it sounds like the [Fiscal Year] and [Month] columns aren't the same data type

    are they both text/number?

    The Pick up Date column is a date column, and both the Fiscal Year and Month columns are text/number columns. And the Values are exactly the same so I am unsure why it is not working.

    MONTH(@cell)will throw an error if it is blank.

    Wrap MONTH(@cell)with IFERROR()

    =SUMIFS([Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable]:[Total With Service Charge (18%) if Applicable], [Batch Billing Account]:[Batch Billing Account], =CHRTR19, [Manager Approval]:[Manager Approval], =1, [Internal Processing Status]:[Internal Processing Status], ="Service Complete", [Pick-up Date]:[Pick-up Date],IFERROR(MONTH(@cell),0)= 10)

    I'm trying to use the following formula to count how many projects I have listed with the due date of Q1/18, Q2/18 and so on.. =COUNTIFS([Strategic Portfolio]:[Strategic Portfolio], "Yes", [Quarter (Planned Finish Date)]:[Quarter (Planned Finish Date)], "Q1/18") but I get #INVALID DATA TYPE as a result.

    Both [Quarter (Planned Finish Date)] and [Number of Projects] are Text/Number columns.

    The [Quarter (Planned Finish Date)] cell is calculated based on my [Planned Finish Date] date column and I'm using this formula: =IF(Status25 = "Cancelled", "", ("Q" + INT((MONTH([Planned Finish Date]25) / 4) + 1) + "/" + RIGHT(YEAR([Planned Finish Date]25), 2)))

    The [Quarter (Planned Finish Date)] column returns the values I want (Q1/18, Q2/18, Q3/18, etc) properly.

    Can anyone help me understand why it's not working?

    What about [Strategic Portfolio]?

    If [Strategic Portfolio], [Quarter (Planned Finish Date)] , and the column containing the formula are all Text/Number, your formula should work.

    One of those three are not Text/Number or you will get #INVALID DATA TYPE

Hi, <\/p>

Instead of applying the formula to \"Multiselect Text String\" row, did you tried with \"Multiselect Values\" row?<\/p>

=IF(HAS([Multiselect Values]@row, [Component ID]@row), \"MATCH\", \"NO MATCH\")<\/p>

Thank you,<\/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":[]},{"discussionID":109493,"type":"question","name":"I am having trouble using \"And\", \"OR\" & \"Countif(s)\" to build a formula.","excerpt":"Hello, I am attempting to come up with a sheet summary formula that counts cells if they meet at least one of 3 different statuses in the same column, AND also meet one of 5 different statuses in a separate column.

Hi, <\/p>

Add a \"Created By\" column in your sheet and turn on \"Required smartsheet login to access your form\" in your form setting. So that whoever fills out the form, their email id will be automatically captured in \"created by\" column. This will replace your \"Requestor Name\" column. <\/p>

Thank you!<\/p>
