Hi guys,
I am trying to count how many times a text appears next to a staff ID across 5 columns. I foolishly thought a countifs formula would sort it, but I'm getting an error so that's obviously not right
Below is an example of the data I'm working from (I can't attach a workbook...)
What I want is column headers Staff ID, Name, Personal Effectiveness, Business Management, Customer Service, Leadership, Audits, Health & Safety, Talent Management, Performance Management, Recruitment, then a count of how many time that has appeared in the 5 development needs columns - i.e. Aaron would have a 1 under Personal Effectiveness, a 2 under Business Management, and a 2 under Customer Service
