=COUNTIFS([IMS Barcode]:[IMS Barcode], [IMS Barcode]@row)

    Hi @Amber K.,

    the following is your formula:

    =COUNTIFS([IMS Barcode]:[IMS Barcode], [IMS Barcode]@row)

    Hi @Amber K.

    The formula looks fine, and as @Bassam Khalil showed, worked for him. I think the issue is in the data. Does your IMS Barcode column contain any cells that have #NO MATCH in them? With the COUNTIFS formula, if the data that is being counted contains errors, those errors sort of bubble up into the COUNTIFS. If you have formula populating the IMS Barcode column and they are returning #NO MATCH, try wrapping those in an IFERROR function. Ie =IFERROR(original formula,""). This will return "" (nothing) instead of the error, which should mean your COUNTIFS functions as expected.

    Let us know how you get on.

    🤞
