    How do I count multiple types in a column?

    ✭✭✭
    in Formulas and Functions

    This is my current formula that works:

    =COUNTIFS({STATUS}, "Completed", {AUDIENCE CATEGORY}, HAS(@cell, "All Employees"), {QUARTER}, HAS(@cell, "Q1'23"))


    But now, I need the formula to count multiple quarters (see the last part of the equation). I need it to pull Q1'23, Q2'23, Q3'23, Q4'23. How do I add those on? ...


    Thank you!

      Hi @nicoleejordannn If your Quarter column has various values, you'll need the OR operator to check to see if QUARTER has "Q1'23" or "Q2'23" or...

      =COUNTIFS({STATUS}, "Completed", {AUDIENCE CATEGORY}, HAS(@cell, "All Employees"), {Quarters}, OR(HAS(@cell, "Q1'23"), HAS(@cell, "Q2'23"), HAS(@cell, "Q3'23"), HAS(@cell, "Q4'23")))

      Is your Quarters column a multi select dropdown? If so, the above will work. If it isn't, let me know.

      @A Rose your suggestion would work, but it would add the requirement of all quarters to exist in the row before that row would be counted.
