COUNTIF not counting when two dropdowns selected

gracieenglebert

I am trying to use countif to tally the number of tasks assigned to each teammate using the following formula:

=COUNTIF([People & Culture Owner]:[People & Culture Owner], "Gracie Englebert")

However, some tasks are shared by multiple teammates, so 2+ dropdowns are selected. The problem is, this function does not count the names in any cells that are shared by multiple teammates.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Try and see if this works:

=COUNTIFS([People & Culture Owner]:[People & Culture Owner], CONTAINS("Gracie Englebert", @cell))

@RickyT Still not counting those cells :/

Are the [People & Culture Owner]:[People & Culture Owner] highlighted a Color? Probably pink or blue @gracieenglebert

@RickyT I found one that works!

=COUNTIFS([People & Culture Owner]:[People & Culture Owner], FIND("Gracie Englebert", @cell) > 0)

this highlights [People & Culture Owner]:[People & Culture Owner] in blue and ("Gracie Englebert", @cell) in pink
