CONTAINS formula not working

edited 02/24/25 in Formulas and Functions

I am trying to count the number of times the number "1" appears in a range using CONTAINS formula. There can be multiples numbers within the same cell seperated by comma. I have tried doing it via a dropdownlist too but its not working.

Hoping for someone to help. Thanks
