Creating a formula to count each selection in a cell drop down.

Hello Everyone!

I am looking to edit a formula I am working on to count every option available in a cell. This is the formula I have currently.

=COUNTIFS({2024 Documentation & Projects Range 4}, FIND("CC:", @cell) > 0, {2024 Documentation & Projects Range 5}, FIND("ILT", @cell) > 0)

As you can see, it is only looking for term "ILT", but I would like it to count and selection that pops up in the drop down. I have attached a screenshot of the sheet below.

Any help is appreciated!

=COUNTIFS(
{2024 Documentation & Projects Range 4}, contains("CC:", @cell), 
{2024 Documentation & Projects Range 5}, contains("ILT", @cell)
)

Consider using CONTAINS

I tried and that did not worked. Is there anyway for me to count the cells in a column if it has been filled with data?

You can use the below to say "is not equal to blank".

=COUNTIFS({2024 Documentation & Projects Range 4}, FIND("CC:", @cell) > 0, {2024 Documentation & Projects Range 5}, @cell <> "")
