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.

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!
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?
Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
