    COUNTIFs not working - tried dfifferent things

    Hi guys

    I have a countif on my 2nd tab (see highlighted cells in yellow) it is not counting text from the first tab and as the first tab has drop downs, i have even checked/inserrted spaces after my text, but don't understand why it is not working

    I am trying to count from the first tab: Advanced ANalytics, column F and the status in column S and return the vlaue on 2nd tab.

    Can anyone help?

    TY!

    There appears to a problem with the text "Advanced Analytics" in the formula.

    I copied the text from the dropdown and it now works

    =COUNTIFS('UK Request Type KPIs'!$F$17:$F553,"Advanced Analytics​", 'UK Request Type KPIs'!$S$17:$S553,T3)

    The data validation lists refer to external links, so it's not possible to work with this file to troubleshoot the issue. Sorry.

    Try this:

    =COUNTIFS('UK Request Type KPIs'!F17:F53,"Advanced Analytics*",'UK Request Type KPIs'!S17:S53,"No Changes*")

    The star symbol helps with wildcards, there was also no reference to the first tab in your formula.

    There is a trailing space in your formula after the word Analytics. Remove it, and it works
