    Difficulty with percentage calculation using COUNTIFS/COUNTIF function

    I am using Office for Mac 2011 and am attempting to calculate a percentage of a document status as an employee performance metric. I am getting a consistent "That name is not valid" error message highlighting "[A2" for the following formula (relevant xls workbook attached):

    =COUNTIFS(B2:B500, "47", [A2:A500, "Green"])/COUNTIF(B2:B500, "47")

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    Try removing the []...
    =COUNTIFS(B2:B500, "47",A2:A500,"Green")/COUNTIF(B2:B500, "47")
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
