How to count "Contact" cells with multiple contact per cell

Aliaksandr Ilyuk

There is a contact column where multiple contacts per cell are allowed. How can I count the total number of rows that contain a specific name? Is it possible to combine COUNTIFS & CONTAINS?

=COUNTIFS({Responsible}, {Status}, "NEW", {Responsible}, CONTAINS("Dmitry Gorobets", {Responsible}))

The formula returns 0, but the value should be much bigger. Does CONTAINS formula work with contact columns?

Hi @Aliaksandr Ilyuk

Hope you are fine, please try the following formula:

=COUNTIFS({Status}, @cell = "New", {Responsible}, HAS(@cell, "Dmitry Gorobets"))
