CONTAINS Function | Smartsheet Learning Center
https://help.smartsheet.com/function/containsUsed within another function to search for a character or string. Returns true if found, false if not found.
I have a similar issue.
I want to total the duration of all tasks based on Work Type if they are not complete.
I have a duration column, Work Type column, state column.
The issue I am hung up on is that the Work Type column could have multiple types sometimes.
Doubt I am close but here is what I have:
=SUMIFS(Duration:Duration, Work Type:Work Type, (CONTAINS("SQL")), State:State, NOT(CONTAINS("Complete")))
You're actually not that far off. There were a few unnecessary closing parentheses. Does this work for you?
=SUMIFS(Duration:Duration, Work Type:Work Type, CONTAINS("SQL", @cell), State:State, NOT(CONTAINS("Complete", @cell)))
