Can you use the HAS function in a COUNTIFS formula?
Based on what I read about HAS Function in the Formula Basics (HAS Function | Smartsheet Learning Center) I should be able to use HAS with COUNTIFS. When I try to use it in a sheet, I receive the error message: The formula cannot be generated because the HAS function is not supported in COUNTIFS.
The formula I tried is: =COUNTIFS({PM Name}:{PM Name}, HAS(@cell, “XXXX YYYYYY”)).

So I just tried it now, and it worked just fine for me, but what I did was make a column in the formula sheet that was a contact column with single drop downs. and then used COUNTIF({PM Name Reference from other sheet}, HAS(@Cell, [Contact Column]@row))

The reason you are likely getting an error is because contact columns are not based on names, but emails, and that is different than text to Smartsheet.
