How to use COUNTIF function if I am looking to count a contacts type column
Hi there! I am creating a tracker to track initiatives in my group. I have about 8 initiatives listed so far with a contacts column that contains all team members per row. I am looking to count specific names and how many affiliated initiatives they are part of.
I have created 2 sheets: #1 Actual tracker #2 To create count formula separate from the tracker
On sheet #2 I am listing everyone's names in the primary column and the second column will populate how many initiatives they are affiliated with
=COUNTIF({Core Members}, "Emily Quach")
Below is a sample view of sheet #1
It keeps saying zero when I execute the formula. Is it because there's multiple contacts in the contacts column.

Try something like this:
=COUNTIF({Core Members}, FIND("Emily Quach", @cell) >=1)
If your contacts are listed in a contact column on a page, this is quicker
=COUNTIF({Core Members}, FIND(Contacts@row, @cell) >=1)
