    CountIF to look for a partial piece of text

    ✭✭✭✭✭
    in Formulas and Functions

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to use Count IF to look for piece of a text from a different sheet.

    I've tried the following variations with no luck:

    =COUNTIFS({QA WORKLOAD Date}, "BACKLOG", {QA WORKLOAD Com/CT}, "COM", {QA WORKLOAD WO ST}, "99", {QA WORKLOAD Description}, CONTAINS("SUB", @cell}))

    =COUNTIFS({QA WORKLOAD Date}, "BACKLOG", {QA WORKLOAD Com/CT}, "COM", {QA WORKLOAD WO ST}, "99", {QA WORKLOAD Description}, HAS({QA WORKLOAD Description}, "Trial"))

    I'm missing something, but not sure what.

    Thanks,

    Jack

      =COUNTIFS({QA WORKLOAD Date}, "BACKLOG", {QA WORKLOAD Com/CT}, "COM", {QA WORKLOAD WO ST}, "99", {QA WORKLOAD Description}, CONTAINS("SUB", @cell}))

      That one should work but you have a typo, you have a } after @cell
