Hi all,

Have problem using countif.
For example to get NUMBER 11, answer is incorrect when there's a comma
And what number do expect as a result and how did you arrived at it?
By my calculations the answer is 15
=SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A24)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A24,",",""))>0,LEN(A1:A24)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1:A24,",",""))+1,0))
...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer. Press F2 on that cell and try again.
Row\Col

This is actually answer that answered by the client.
My objective is to get ( total of how many people selected answer for example number "11" )
in this case 11 = 7
=countif[range][criteria] couldnt give me the correct answer
Perhaps:
Put criteria in C1 (ie.11) and put this ind D1 :
=COUNT(SEARCH(C1,SUBSTITUTE(A1:A24,","," ")))
Using array formulas.
Countif will do it
=SUM(COUNTIF(A1:A24,{11,"*,11","*11,*"}))
