How to Summarize the Assign to: Contacts in a Report
Hi There
I see there is plenty questions relating to this topic, but what ever I try doesn't work.
Here is what I'm trying to do:
I want to create a Report on Multiply sheets. Each sheet has different Contacts assigned.
Now I'm stuck on the Sheet Summarized Option.
Here is my Screen Shot
1st Question - Under Summary Sheet, must the field be a Contact or Text?
2nd Question - When I use a Countif formula (or any other formula) and want to select the Range, it wont let me select the Assigned To column on my sheet.
How can I summarize on my report how many lines have been allocated to a individual Contact.
Would appreciate your help

1) Summary Sheets can be a text/number, contact, date, dropdown, checkbox, or symbols field.
2) Do you mean that it will not allow you to click the column header to select the entire column range?
I have had this issue before, my work around is to select two cells which would display [Assigned To]1:[Assigned To]2 and then just delete the row numbers to look like this [Assigned To]:[Assigned To]. This should select the entire column. **Make sure that your Assigned To column is a "Contact List" column, otherwise the COUNTIF formula will not work. **
To count assigned cells: =COUNTIF([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], <>"")
To count for specific contact: =COUNTIF([Assigned To]:[Assigned To], "Engn Team")
Hope this helps!
