Countifs with Contains function

Hello,

I am having trouble with this formula. Basically we have a list of employees with a column for their position, and their schedule. If they are in training, the schedule starts with "Effective" followed by the date they leave training. I am trying to pull the number of people in each position that are in training by locating the partial text. Below are two formulas I'm trying out but neither are working, any suggestions?


=COUNTIFS({Team Sheet Range 1}, Position@row, {Team Sheet Range 2},"Effective")


=COUNTIFS({Team Sheet Range 1}, Position@row, CONTAINS("Effective", {Team Sheet Range 2}))
