Value count in multi-select column

Doris Rivera

Does anyone know if on a multi-select column there's a way to count if I only have a single value selected.

For example, Based on the data in the "Platform" snapshot, I want to get the counts for second snapshot. Where I'm having the challenge is returning a value for the cells with single value selected that it's not also counting that same value when part of a multi-selection.

Hey @Doris Rivera

If I understand your request, you're trying to count when only one response is in your multi-select column?

If this is correct, you can leverage the COUNTM() function to find those cells. COUNTM() counts the total number of responses in a multiselect column.

Try this

=COUNTIFS(Platform:Platform, HAS(@cell, "Desktop Web"), Platform:Platform, COUNTM(@cell) = 1)

Will that work for you?
