Count If formula for multiple items within 1 cell

Megan Doyle · 10/07/22

Hello all,

I am trying to generate a report from a Smartsheet (that is auto-populated from a form) that will give me a total count of how many people have access to which event space, per day requested. Since each cell could have 1 or multiple values, right now my CountIf formula is only correctly calculating the cells that have a single value ex. It says there is only (1) 18th Green Marquee request, instead of (3). I have not gotten into the weeds with the date criteria yet since I was trying to determine if the first part was possible.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Megan Doyle

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Access Space Request]:[Access Space Request], CONTAINS("18th Green Marquee", @cell))

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Happy to help!

Yes. If you're referencing another sheet, the column range would need to be updated to the cross-sheet range.

Make sense?
