Calculating the number of times a contact name appears in a list
Hello Community,
I'm trying to calculate the number of times a contact name appears in a list, I've used =CountM, =Count, =Find, =Sum but in the end i keep getting 'error'. Please help!

Ah!
Your contact column is a multiselect. So we'll need to modify the formula to allow for that...
=COUNTIF([Contact Column]:[Contact Column],HAS(@cell, "Kate Condon"))
We use the HAS function for multiselects.

Thank you Ryan, this worked more than the others I had tried though it doesn't count all of the times a name appears, it's just showing 1 rather than 6. Any other solutions?

Yes, I do

My name 'Kate Condon' is on every project so it should be counting it 13 times (the number of total rows in this column) Does it require a different formula because it's in summary?
