I am trying to count how many times a word is picked in multi dropdown menu
So i have a single column with a multi drop down box. The reason for this is to select multiple options in certain circumstances. When i use =COUNTIF(Classification:Classification, "text") it will count if only one option is picked but once more than one of the selections is picked it will only count 1 of the 2.
when i use =contains it comes back as not possible.
for example ;
if i have multiple names down one row and in the next a multiselect dropbox of favourite colours and people can choose more than one, what formula will allow me to pick every time red is picked in that column ?
TIA

Hey @Caolan Kelly,
You should be able to use =countif([Classification]:[Classification], contains("red", @cell))
Let me know if that works, if not we can always try a different solution :)
