Hello,
I created a form and now have all the data i need. However My formula to give me the number of each tea that was voted for has to be accounted for. It seems that my countif formulas are not working correctly. Can anyone help me?
Can you please share the formula you are using?
I have tried a couple different ones
=COUNTIFS([Favorite #1]1:[Favorite #2]52<bigelow: earl grey)
=SUMIF([Favorite #1]1:[If I had to choose a green tea, I'd pick:]52, yamamoto: genmai, [sum_range])
=COUNTIFS([Favorite #1]1:[If I had to choose a green tea, I'd pick:]52, "yamamoto: genmai")
Try that one? It will give you a 1 for every time Yammamoto: genmai appears in the range that you suggested. Because you're looking for that text specifically you have to put it in quotes.
Mike,
No matter the name I give it or specify the value comes back at zero
Are you putting the Countif formula on the same sheet or trying to pull it from a different sheet?
Create a new row at the top and put this in the first Cell...
=Countifs([Favorite #1]:[Favorite #1], "Bigelow: Earl Grey")
Does that return a count?
Hello Mike,
thank you for helping me, but even when I followed your instructions to a T I now get #BLOCKED. very puzzling to say the least.
Hi Juan,
You get #blocked because one of your cells you are referencing might contain an error. Make sure you don't have a formula that is not working in the Favorite column.

wow,
thanks Mike!
Did that do the trick for you? Glad I could help you out.
Yes Mike, thank you for being so patient.
I'd like to thank Smartsheets for developing that patience in me. You're welcome!
Hi All, I have a project plan with a column called "Owner" that has a column type of contact list. The contacts are from multiple companies. It's a large project plan. I have created columns that have a column type of checkbox. I want to check the box if the owner is from a certain company (which can be determined by the…
Hello, I am trying to use JOIN-COLLECT to populate a cell with a contact by pulling from another sheet. However, when I use this formula it populates the cell with the name of the contact as a text string, but does not populate the cell with the contact itself. Both the column of cells being populated and the column the…
Hello Community, I need to create a report that shows capacity by month. My sheet tracks resource allocation on projects with resource start and end dates. (We can't afford the Resource Management module so we're doing it in Core SS). I've been asked to do a "heat map" of sorts where each column is a month. For each row…
