Sheet Summary CountIfs with Multi-contact fields

Hi,

Is it possible to use a countIfs in a Sheet Summary referencing multi-contact fields? I would like to count the number of instance "Employee X" is in the responsible field column. However, i can't seem to get it to work. I tried using both Has and Contains function in conjuction with countIfs and no luck!

Has Formula

=COUNTIFS([Responsible:]:[Responsible:], Has([Responsible:]:[Responsible:], "Employee X"), [End Date]:[End Date], <>"")

=COUNTIFS([Responsible:]:[Responsible:], HAS(@row, "Employee X"), [End Date]:[End Date], <>"")-Resulted in Unparseable

Contains Formula

=COUNTIFS([Responsible:]:[Responsible:], CONTAINS("Employee X ", [Responsible:]:[Responsible:]), [End Date]:[End Date], <>"")


I found a similar question, but i wasn't able to get it to work for me

    Try:

    =COUNTIFS([Responsible]:[Responsible], Has(@cell, "Employee X"), [End Date]:[End Date], ISDATE(@cell))
