Retrieve most recent values in multi-select column using formulas
I am struggling to get the formulas to retrieve a value in a multi-select cell. For example:
Flavor options in multi-select dropdown: Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint
Flavor1: Vanilla (row 1)
Flavor2: Vanilla, Chocolate (row 2)
Flavor3; Vanilla, Chocolate, Mint (row 3)
In a separate column I want to use a formula to retrieve the row number of the last instance of Chocolate (Flavor3). So the output would be "3." In a single-select dropdown list, I have successfully used INDEX / MAX / COLLECT to retrieve the last instance of a value.
But I cannot get the formula to work for a multi-select. I have tried using the new HAS( ) function as well, but it does not accomplish my goal either.
Has anyone else encountered this challenge and have any ideas?
Thanks!

Can you provide your formula for the single select column? It should only be a minor adjustment to that formula using for your criteria something along the lines of
CONTAINS("Chocolate", @cell)
