Countrows containing

Hi,

I will try and explain this in the best way possible.

I have some columns that within each row they might have different options which are semicoloun separated. 

Take for example the below coloumn - Row one contains two select options Private drains cleaned and GM UPGDARED....

within the hightlight row, I only just want to count "GM UPGRADED following....

My question is, how can I count item semicolon separted within a row? If that makes any sense

I have tried the below but it' not returning me the correct result

 

Monitor 1 -  TEST =
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER('Network (Test)',
    'Network (Test)'[Monitor 1 - Action] IN({"GM installed following NPO visit/advice", "GM (ADDITIONAL) installed following NPO visit/advice", "GM UPGRADED following NPO visit/advice"}
    )))
 
The above formula is only returning me 1 - not taking into account the row with multiple options separated with semicolons
Any help will be much appreciated 🙂

@ukare1996 , try like

 

Monitor 1 - TEST =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER('Network (Test)',
Containsstring('Network (Test)'[Monitor 1 - Action] , "GM installed following NPO visit/advice")
|| Containsstring('Network (Test)'[Monitor 1 - Action] , "GM (ADDITIONAL) installed following NPO visit/advice")
|| Containsstring('Network (Test)'[Monitor 1 - Action] ,"GM UPGRADED following NPO visit/advice")
))
