    COUNTIFS Formula with multiple criteria including a checkbox

    ✭✭
    in Formulas and Functions

    Hello,

    I tried multiple formulas and can't seem to figure out to do a count that includes a report code (e.g., OWCA1) and a checkbox. Here is what I have so far:

    =COUNTIFS({UHG Risk Control Matrix Range 2}, CONTAINS("OWCA1", @cell), {UHG Risk Control Matrix Range 1}, CONTAINS("1", @cell))

    Thank you for any help!!

      To count the checkbox you wouldn't use "CONTAINS" you would just use 1.

      So it should be

      =COUNTIFS({UHG Risk Control Matrix Range 2}, CONTAINS("OWCA1", @cell), {UHG Risk Control Matrix Range 1}, 1)

      *Assuming the {UHG Risk Control Matrix Range 1} is the checkbox column*
