COUNTIF Help

Sean Huynh

Hello,

Is there a way to count the number of times a contact appears in a certain column, if there are multiple contacts in some of the cells?

For example, I can use COUNTIF to see how many times Charles appears in cells where it is just his contact only, but I want to count how many times Charles appears even if there is another person in the cell (Susan).

Thanks!

Hi Sean,

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF([1 PM]:[1 PM]; FIND("Charles"; @cell) > 0)

The same version but with the below changes for convenience.

=COUNTIF([1 PM]:[1 PM], FIND("Charles", @cell) > 0)

Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
