COUNTIF based on a category

I have a sheet which looks at another sheet and counts the number of instances of a string appear in that column based on a string in the current sheet and that works.

I now want the sheet to look at the other sheet, carry out the COUNTIF, but also bring across the category entry from another column, so that i can use that in the sheet to sort/filter the returned values, is that possible?

Thanks

Cheers

Richard

Hi Richard,

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
