Hi

I'm trying to use a COUNTIFS on some data with multiple criteria. My source sheet has a list and each row has a different single or multiple code in the type column. On a separate sheet, I'm using the COUNTIFS to count and search the range for how many contain each unique code but I am stumped and its only counting the unique codes (single entry per cell) but I also want it to count them within in a cell with multiple code entries.

For example below, code 21-HR is counted twice but I want it to return 4 times as its also in two cells which have multiple values.

In the attached sheet, 21-HR is in rows 27 & 29 but also within rows 14 & 15.

The formula used is simply =COUNTIFS($B$4:$B$34,$C4) and for ease of review, I've left out the other criteria in the COUNTIFS.

Can anyone help?

U can try this.
With your posted sample data, try changing B1 to 1-HR

@Simon2001
For earlier version try this. Note that the formula should be confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter
