So i'm trying to get the formula to count how many of these tasks a person has done when you select the criteria. It works whenever I keep the cell value as a singular item. However, having (AS, NK) doesn't get counted, in that circumstance 2 people did the task together.
Is there a way to get the formula to count if "AS" appears within column 2 correlating to column 1's task selection.

The formula i'm using is =COUNTIFS(C16:C26,F15,B16:B26,G15)

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
Hey there,

try:

=SUMPRODUCT((B16:B26=G15)*(ISNUMBER(FIND(F15,C16:C26))))

Change the FIND function to SEARCH if you are not concerned with the casing of the string in cell F15.

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

I suggest that you investigate XL2BB for providing sample data to make it easier for helpers by not having to manually type out sample data to test with.

Try a COUNTIFS formula with a structure like this

20 03 31.xlsm
ABCDEFG
4EFAS, NKASEF3
5EFAS
6EFAS
7EfDE
