Did I make it too difficult to calculate?
Hi,
I am a rookie when it comes to formulas - and while I understand the basics, I feel stuck with one thing related to a sheet that will start coming data collection soon, and I want to ensure the formulas are all set before it starts. Here is where I am stumped:
I have a column on my smartsheet where one option let's call it "OPTION A" can be selected, and I added logic to my form. It opens an additional box: "OPTION B, OPTION C, and OPTION D." How would I best write the formula to calculate this data? I have two similar fields like this, and I want to make sure they appear when I export it to Excel clearly so I won't need to manually total information.
Thanks

Hey @Devon
Can you share some screenshots? what is the data in the option columns? what calculations are you trying to do?

Thank you, Itai. I would be looking to total the number of requests within the column of the request type, and then the separate types of requests (Toys, Coloring/Activities, and Pawprints Request). thank you!

Hey @Devon
If you're just looking to count how many selections were made in each cell/column, you can use the COUNTM function! 🙂
=COUNTM([Request Type]@row)
See: COUNTM Function
