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!
