COUNTIF Function

Hello,

I have a column (column 1) that is limited to a multi-select drop down menu with 5 options call them red, blue, green, yellow, and orange. Every row in column 1 has multiple color selections. How would I write a COUNTIF formula to count every instance of red? I have tried =COUNTIF(column 1, <"red") but do not know how Smartsheet interprets less than or greater than with text. What I want is something along the lines of =COUNTIF(column 1, {Contains Red})

Thank you!

Hi Dean,

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Multi select]:[Multi select], HAS(@cell, "Red"))

Did that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
