COUNTIF of CHILDREN with HAS

HYoffa

I'm running into an issue with a formula that I'm trying to write that counts the results of a multi-dropdown column using the CHILDREN hierarchy.

=COUNTIF(CHILDREN([Event Tier]165), HAS(@cell, "Tier 1: Off-Site Event"))

I'm looking for any cells that contain the answer "Tier 1: Off-Site Event" for all the children of [Event Tier]165 which would include cells where there is more then one answer. With the formula above it I'm returning a value of 0 and can't figure it out.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Hi @HYoffa

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIF(CHILDREN([Event Tier]165), CONTAINS("Tier 1: Off-Site Event", @cell))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

For some reason the total is still showing 0, it's not pulling the amount of Tier 1 with this formula. Thank you so much for your help!

Strange!

I'd be happy to take a quick look.

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)
