Hello,
I created a form and now have all the data i need. However My formula to give me the number of each tea that was voted for has to be accounted for. It seems that my countif formulas are not working correctly. Can anyone help me?
Can you please share the formula you are using?
I have tried a couple different ones
=COUNTIFS([Favorite #1]1:[Favorite #2]52<bigelow: earl grey)
=SUMIF([Favorite #1]1:[If I had to choose a green tea, I'd pick:]52, yamamoto: genmai, [sum_range])
=COUNTIFS([Favorite #1]1:[If I had to choose a green tea, I'd pick:]52, "yamamoto: genmai")
Try that one? It will give you a 1 for every time Yammamoto: genmai appears in the range that you suggested. Because you're looking for that text specifically you have to put it in quotes.
Mike,
No matter the name I give it or specify the value comes back at zero
Are you putting the Countif formula on the same sheet or trying to pull it from a different sheet?
Create a new row at the top and put this in the first Cell...
=Countifs([Favorite #1]:[Favorite #1], "Bigelow: Earl Grey")
Does that return a count?
Hello Mike,
thank you for helping me, but even when I followed your instructions to a T I now get #BLOCKED. very puzzling to say the least.
Hi Juan,
You get #blocked because one of your cells you are referencing might contain an error. Make sure you don't have a formula that is not working in the Favorite column.

wow,
thanks Mike!
Did that do the trick for you? Glad I could help you out.
Yes Mike, thank you for being so patient.
I'd like to thank Smartsheets for developing that patience in me. You're welcome!
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
