Hi there!
This is my first time posting a question so sorry if I end up doing this wrong!!
We run events across the UK and I have a sheet set up for each event site capturing data about the events, from day/date to type of event and breakdown of the number of people who attended.
We've now started capturing any 'additional activities/enhancements' that take place beyond our regular offering. To do this, I ask users to multi-select (from a drop down menu of 10) the 'extra' activities that took place. E.g. Arts & Crafts, Character Meet & Greet etc.
I've been asked to calculate how many 'Total Extra Experiences' we have delivered at Events, but the tricky thing is that each of the options in the multi-select carries a different value. For example:
- 3 of the options wouldn't be counted as an Experience
- 3 of the options would need to include the total patients who attended AND the total child guests who attended in the 'Experience value'
- 4 of the options would need to include the total number of attendees as the 'Experience value'
I was going to create two COUNTIFS helper columns, one that counts when any choices that need to include total patients + child guests are selected, and another that counts when any choices that need to include total attendees are selected. But I am stumped by the formula - can I have some help with it? I started with:
=COUNTIF([Additional Experiences & Enhancements]@row , HAS([Additional Experiences & Enhancements]@row , "Arts & Crafts", OR(HAS([Additional Experiences & Enhancements]@row, "Entertainer (e.g. Balloons, Magician"))))
But this is returning a value of 0 - perhaps I need to add an 'AND' in there somewhere?
Then I was planning to add more helper columns, maybe using the IF function, saying that, if there is a value in one of the helper columns above, then multiply by the relevant attendee data. This is making my head spin though - if there's an easier way to do this, please help!!
Thank you so much in advance - and apologies for the essay!!
