How do I use OR when looking for "x" in cells in two columns?

KBowling

=COUNTIFS({Progress}, ="Complete", {Functional Area}, OR(CONTAINS("Operations - HH - Clinical", @cell), CONTAINS("Operations - Home Health", @cell)), OR({Functional Area Assigned}, OR(CONTAINS("Operations - HH - Clinical", @cell), CONTAINS("Operations - Home Health", @cell))), {Not Applicable}, =0)

I have two columns, Functional Area and Functional Area Assigned. I would like my formula to find the following in any cell in each column, "Operations - HH - Clinical" or "Operations -Home Health". What is wrong with my formula?

Hi @KBowling

I hope you're well and safe!

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, [email protected])

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

The "References" in my formula refer to the "Functional Area" and the "Functional Area Assigned" in my formula. The references are on a different, but the same, sheet (Project Plan).

What I am trying to do is create a formula that references both cells and returns a count of whatever I put in the formula. As an example:

I want to count all "HR - Diligence & Onboarding" in the "Functional Area" column and count all "HR -Diligence & Onboarding" in the "Functional Area Assigned" column. This would give me one total.
