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
Solved! Go to Solution.
@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")
))
