Need help in formula for counting only if a specific text is within a cell

SiddV47

Hello,

Please see the image below.

I would like to count the number of Journal Articles but only those with the status "Accepted for publication(attach final pdf copy)". Currently, I am using this formula in my Sheet Summary - =COUNTIF([Activity Type]:[Activity Type], "Journal Article"). But it is also counting the Journal article with the status "Work in progress" and Planned/Not started".

Please help me guide and build a formula.

Thanks,

Sidd

Hi @SiddV47

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=COUNTIFS([Activity Type]:[Activity Type], "Journal Article", [Status (Single select)]:[Status (Single select)], "Accepted for publication(attach final pdf copy)")

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
