Countifs Contains part with an identifier

SRenner

Hello,

I'm trying to create a formula to count how many stores we have for a certain date based on the nomenclature of the store name.

I want to count stores that start with "W" example W001234 or W004566.

I also want to count stores that start with "R" Example RC00254 or RA00255

I had =countifs(Date:Date, =4/12/20), contains("W", Store number).

i know its wrong. lol

thanks in advance for the help.

=COUNTIFS(Date:Date, DATE(2020, 04, 12), [Store Number]:[Store Number], OR(LEFT(@cell) = "R", LEFT(@cell) = "W"))

Try something like that...
