Struggling with COUNTIFS and CONTAINS

Hello! I have read through a bunch of questions about COUNTIF and CONTAINS formula but none seem to be working for me.

I have a metric sheet in which I need to count the number of projects in a particular status for a particular business unit. The business unit field on the source sheet is a multi-select field, projects can impact more than one BU.

My formula is: =COUNTIFS({Status}, Metric@row, {Intake: BU}, CONTAINS("AFS", {Intake: BU}))

If the Status field contains the value in the metric column for this row, and the Intake BU contains AFS, count the row. This is returning zero which is incorrect.

I also tried HAS instead of CONTAINS and couldn't get that to work either.

Thanks in advance!

I figured it out. Not sure I understand how it's looking for the value but this formula works.

=COUNTIFS({Status}, Metric@row, {Intake: BU}, CONTAINS("AFS", @cell))

Thanks!!
