CountA error: Cannot compare text

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 60

Hi community,

 

I have used this formula before, and this worked:

CountA(Filter('Task DB';Priority.Value = "High").Priority)

 

 

Now I am working on another table and changed the formula to:

CountA(Filter('Action Tracker';'Task Status'.Value = "New").'Task Status')

 

But this time it is not working.

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong?

    Hi @Celia ,

     

    Have you tried :

     

    CountIf('Action Tracker';'Task Status'.Value="New")

     

    Greetings,

    Marc

    Are you using CountA because you don't want to include blanks?

     

    I would put the inner part of your formula into a gallery 

    Filter('Action Tracker';'Task Status'.Value = "New").'Task Status'

     

    ..then you can see how many values match that filter, as it may be that the issue is not the counting, but that the values are not present.
