Alternative to COUNTIF with HAS Formula

Barbara Silva

I need help, please :)

On a support sheet, I have a list of Zip codes and the areas of the city they correspond to. On my main sheet, I have a "Company HQ Address" column, that contains the Zip code, but NOT on its own column, it's listed within the cell containing the full address. When I use "=COUNTIF({Source Sheet Range 2}, HAS(@cell, "89148")) for example; it only counts it if the cell on the address column lists the Zip code without additional data, which won't work for me.

Ultimately, I want to count the number of rows/records I have per area of the City (North West, North Central, North East, South West, South East). Any ideas on how to fix my formula above, or any other/better way to do this that I am unaware of?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi Barbara. HAS requires an exact match. Switch to using CONTAINS instead.

=COUNTIF({Source Sheet Range 2}, CONTAINS("89148", @cell))

CONTAINS is formatted a little differently so you'll need to put what to search for before where to search at.
