COUNTIFS with OR

Lisa Bowley

Hi all

I think this should be simple formula, but I just can't get it work. Any help would be gratefully received.

I would like to count the times both possibilities of "Action" and "Forthcoming Meeting" appear in my column 'Type'. This formula isn't working:

=COUNTIFS(Type:Type, "Action", OR (@cell = "Forthcoming Meetings"))

Very many thanks

Hi @Lisa Bowley

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS(Type:Type, OR(CONTAINS("Action", @cell), CONTAINS("Forthcoming Meetings", @cell)))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
