Countif w/ multi drop down

Options

Hi,

I have a list of drop down items:

I am trying to total the amount of those selected on another sheet. (How many rows contain those three items bundled together). I am getting an error message when I try:


=COUNTIFS({LOA Tracker Range 2}, "Jordan Own", {LOA Tracker Range 5}, "FMLA" AND "CFRA" AND "Wave Parental Leave")


What am I missing?


Thanks! :)

    I goofed the syntax. Try:

    =COUNTIFS({LOA Tracker Range 2}, "Jordan Own", {LOA Tracker Range 5}, AND(HAS(@cell, "FMLA"), HAS(@cell,"CFRA"), HAS(@cell,"Wave Parental Leave")))

    Work this time?

    Try:

    =COUNTIFS({LOA Tracker Range 2}, "Jordan Own", {LOA Tracker Range 5}, HAS(@cell, AND("FMLA", "CFRA", "Wave Parental Leave"))

    The HAS function return true if the multiselect cell has the exact content and false if not.

    Work?

    Hi Mark,


    It is showing as 0, even though there are those combinations...
