Countif Statement Not counting a criteria

hi there,

I have a Countif Statement running for a Dashboard on a column with multiple select. I have 3 criteria I'm isolating (image below) but the Partnership Criteria isn't counting when it should.

I've checked the formula and spelling and it's fine- here is the back end Metric Page I'm using for the "Roadmap at a Glance" view. What am I missing?


Thanks!

    Hi @S_Ko ,

    I think you should be able to use something like this (if project type is a dropdown with multiple select):

    =COUNTIFS({1. Current L&D Roadmap Range}, HAS(@cell, "partnership")),{1. Current L&D Roadmap Range 3},"Q22023/23"))

    I think the reason the others are working is that they are they're alone, while your partnership is a multiple option.

    If the project type is not a dropdown, then you can substitute HAS for CONTAINS.

    Hope this helps; any questions etc. then just post! 😊
