Hi, how do I do a formula that will count keyword or keyword phrase? For example: How do I count have many times in a column the phrase "6.12 applies" was used.
Thank you

- This should work if you sub out the primary column for the range you want to count: =COUNTIF([Primary Column]:[Primary Column], CONTAINS("6.12 applies", @cell))

Hi @Caravan
I used this formula (seems to be the same as yours):
=IF(CONTAINS("/", Owner@row), 1, 0)
and received the proper value of 1. Here's what it looks like:
Here it is with the column type changed to checkbox:

Thank you Ray.
I've converted column to text just to see if it makes any differences b/c I'm stumped. Basically, it's not recognizing the "/".
Finally, found the culprit. Owner column was a 'contact list'. I guess you can't search strings if the column property is 'contact list'. Hmmm

CONTAINS does not work on contact type columns but the FIND function does.
=IF(FIND("/", Owner@row)> 0, 1)
