Count when multiple drop-down selections are chosen

Stefanie VanAlstine

I have a "Project Type" column that allows for multiple drop-down selections: Manufacturing Site Change, Process Change, Vendor Change, etc. I am trying to count each individual project type even if multiple selections have been made in a single cell; e.g., if I've got Manufacturing Site Change and Process Change both selected in the same cell, I need to count each of them. I've tried COUNTIFS, but I haven't had success. Any help is appreciated!

Try something like this...

=COUNTIFS([Column Name]:[Column Name], HAS(@cell, "Manufacturing Site Change"))

Try something like this...

=COUNTIFS([Column Name]:[Column Name], HAS(@cell, "Manufacturing Site Change"))

Hi Paul! Thanks so much for the response. I'm pulling from a different sheet, so I changed the first bit of your suggestion to accommodate that and it worked beautifully!
