COUNTIFS: Column Contains, Column with Checkbox
Hello formula experts,
I am trying to return a count of instances where the [Implemented] cell is checked and the [Goal Category] cell contains "Environment" as one of the choices.
This formula is returning #INVALID OPERATION
=COUNTIFS(Implemented:Implemented, 1, [Goal Category]:[Goal Category], CONTAINS("Environment"))
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @Mary Ayers
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this.
=COUNTIFS(Implemented:Implemented; 1; [Goal Category]:[Goal Category]; CONTAINS("Environment"; @cell))
Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period.
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
